    Windows 7 - XP network Sharing - possible ?


    I need some advice on setting up network connection between my laptops
    1. Windows7
    2. Windows Xp

    Is it possible to access, send / receive and share files between them WIRELESSLY ?

    I have wifi router and built in modem [netgear]

    I know that it could be easier if both had w7 on them

    thanks ever so much for your time
