Networking 2 home computers
Ok people, this is new territory for this 'ol fart...! I have a Windows 7 Home Pro system in the upstairs 'puter room, its an Asus P7D55P, intel i5 2.67, 4gb ram, 5770 vid card, Antec 900 case, 650 watt PS It's all connected to the net via a wired D-Link Dl 604 router.
The downstairs unit is my old XP system MSI MoBo, 2Gb ram, AMD proces, can't remember the type. It is also plugged into the router via Cat 5 RG 54 cable.
I checked the system settings and my home network but nothing shows me the downstairs system.
Is there a particular process, settings, etc., that I have to do/set to get these 2 systems to talk to each other......!
My main goal is to be able to send a file to the upstairs printer/plotter, while I'm working on a project(wood, plastic model, etc.), from the old XP system.
Any help would GREATLY be appreciated.
Regards,
unclepine
