Good day -
My Win 7 laptop is wifi enabled. My XP desktop computer has an external ethernet port. I'd like to allow the laptop to exchange files with the desktop and to operate the desktop's printer. I do NOT want internet access.
I have an E1200NP wireless router.
Can I cable the XP desktop to the router and establish wireless communications with the laptop? The inter-office distance is 20 feet.
Will I need some kind of software, such as "Teamviewer" or are Win 7 and XP inherently capable of communicating with each other without additional software?
I'll appreciate whatever wisdom you can offer, or to which you can direct me.
Thank you very much.
