Hi sheikmabooty

This is what you should be looking to achieve for your local network.

I called my Desktop FAMILY, the portable VISTA and my workgroup Mshome.


Click to view attachment Screen Shot of physical connection of Local network to Live box and Internet. Do not worry about the switch and gateway they are all part of the Livebox.


Click to view attachment Screen shot with windows explorer open and showing all the folders I have marked for sharing on the network.

I hope this all works

Best wishes
