Networking Question
OK...So I found out my once dead computer was only a video card problem after I started installing the good parts in my wifes PC. Now that I already have a new computer I would like to access the items on my old PC with Windows XP professional my new system having Vista.
Do I just plug the old computer into the network hub and access the programs that way or am I missing something? I would still like to access some of the programs on my old system and old email contacts.

1) both machines need to be in the same workgroup.
2) to RDC to the old machine from the new machine or map a drive to the old machine you need to create a user account on the old machine (make it an admin account so that you don't have permission issues and you can map to $ shares.) 3) if you want to run programs on the old computer, RDC to it and run them on that machine 4) if you want to copy data from old to new: - go to my computer on the old machine - right click on C and then sharing - enable sharing on that drive - map a drive to \\oldmachinename\C$ (assuming your data is on the C drive) and then just copy the data to the new machine
