File sharing

I tried installing this Debian version on both my Intel system and AMD system and it didn't work on either one. Both died in the process of trying to install software acrossed the internet. Even the main release has issues with finding my Intel Pro network card.

Hi j0ckey, and welcome
 
A reputable source of xp info:
 
http://www.theeldergeek.com/quick_guide_to_simple_file_sharing.htm
 
There are a few other factors to consider if you have tweaked your system or altered it from the default install. You will (may?!) need the correct services enabled on each xp pc. If you have no clue what I am talking about then the chances are you have never turned them off so all should be well
 
Actually it has just occured to me - this process will probably differ between Home and Professional versions of XP.
 
Anyhow another guide with pics may help:

Professional method

You may have to configure 3rd party firewalls if u use them (ZoneAlarm etc.)
 
As far as your router is concerned, I imagine that you can leave it alone since it should just work....if not check the linksys forums
 
Kind regards,
