Ok so I set up a home network to share files with all 4 computers in the house via my wireless router.

It isnt what I thought it would be, I keep needing to go to the other pc and use a thumb drive anyway.

All of the printers got included in this set up as well and it is bogging down my slower computers.

Soooooooooo how do I turn the darn thing off and back to 4 seperate computers who only share a internet connection.

Please help :blink:

a fix would to be to go to Control panel->System->Computer name->Change...
Then change the workgroup name on each computer, so none are the same.
The internet - Where men are men, women are men and children are FBI agents.
