I could do this in no time in Windows, but I don't know how to find, configure, and enable the files necessary to make these machines talk to each other and allow browsing to shared resources. h The connectivity is in place (each can access the internet.) I've Googled considerably and not found instructions. Just a pointer to instructions on the web somewhere would be fine.
