Default Re: Transferring files over ethernet or USB or wireless

does the same router control both the ethernet and wireless ethernet portions of the network? If so, log into the web-admin portion of the router and find the IP addresses of the machines. Now return to the run prompt and type in or copy/paste the ip address in this format:

\\<ip here>

If this doesn't work, I suspect that windows file sharing is completely turned off. I don't remember where to turn this stuff on and am not sitting at a windows machine right now.

If the wireless access point isn't the same device that is your router then it's probably firewalled off. Just plug the laptop into your router for this file transfer.
