i use wipeer to share files wirelessly. but it always crashes in my vista.

no problems in XP though.


i tried to do an ad-hoc connection, but i just got frustrated. besides, i need to use the internet while sharing files.


can anybody suggest other ways to share files? im sharing big files so i cant use flashdisks.

money is hard nowadays, i cant afford an external HD


any help is greatly appreciated.

Windows has it's own File Sharing abilities built-in. Just right-click on a folder you want to share and select "Sharing and Security".

What kind of files are you trying to share?

A 6Gb file is going to take all day on a wireless connection.
A 6Gb file over a wired connection will take a long time.

An external hard drive is realistically the only practical solution, carry it between the computers, for those sorts of files. There's too much to go wrong realistically any other way.
