Subject: RE: Tech: Home network kit?
hi whb

I have been out for the week-end so have only just spotted your message.

Like you I am a complete non-techy. I explained my set up earlier and really all I did was to follow the Windows instruction for sharing data etc. Go to Control Centre and click on Network and Sharing.

My network is all devices are physically quite close each other and on the one floor.

I am not sure what you mean when you say you want to "talk to each other". We use the network to make documents, files etc available to each computer and for each to be able to send prints etc to the others.

All of my computers had network cards installed and as I say I just followed the Windows instructions.

Basically though all it entails is that you place your data that you wish to share in the "Public" folder. You then access this from the remote device.

This is an exceptionally simple network but it does exactly what we want from it.

Good Luck
