ok so my cousin downloaded bunch of stuff from my kids computer and wanted to burn it onto a cdr.. but the problem is my son computer doesn't have a burner but my computer do. so how can i transfer all those files/programs to my computer so i can burn it onto a disc for him? im using cable connection with linksys wireless router. both computers connected by enternet cables to the router. both computers using windows xp pro. thanks for looking

First, create an account on your son's computer for yourself. Use the same info you do to log onto your own PC (username/password). Then, share the folder on your son's PC that has all the files you want to copy. All you should have to do now is log onto your own computer normally. Then, open the Windows Explorer and go to Tools on the menu and choose Map Network Drive. Use the browser to find the shared folder on your son's PC and map the drive to it. Now you can use the explorer to copy the files over to your PC.

thank for the fast reply. i did all of above and found my son computer work group name.. but ever time i click on it this is what i get. "XXXXXXX is not accessible. you might not have presmission to use this network resouce. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxx" and on the bottom it say "the network path was not found" any idea?

Check the security for the folder that you are trying to map. Make sure you (the username you are logged in as) has full control permissions on that folder.

You could also make that account a member of the Admistrators group on your son's PC.
