Make sure you have the box checked that says “I want to share files with other users on my network”, reboot, then right click on the folder (directory for us “old timers”) that has the data you want shared (you can do this to the “C” drive too) and go to the sharing options. Once you’ve shared the resource, reboot both computers (allowing the computer with the share to complete the boot process first) then browse the “My Network” folder on the new PC, and you should see the other computer with the shared resource.

If it was a conversation, it would go like this.

(Ob)eron: “I have files I want to share, but I don’t know how.”
(J)odi: “Here, this is how you share files.”
Ob: “OK, let me restart so I can make it work”
Ob: “I know how to share files, but I have nothing to share.”
J: “Here are the files I want you to share”
Ob: “OK. I really should restart again.”
(Og)den: “Yeah, I want to see his files, so I’ll restart too.”
Ob: “Here are my files… Anyone? Anyone?”
Og: “Lemme look here on my network connection…”
Ob: “If it helps, I’m 192.168.1.100.”
Og: “I see you now in ‘My Network.’ I can see the folder! I can!”
J: “Thank you, ‘creepy stalker!'”

One serial or ethernet cable and you have your own network!
Check on CNET or TUCOWS to find what fits…

(I say this only as one who is slaved to technology but fails to understand why it works/doesn’t work and that more often than not I’ve just knocked something loose.)
