File and Print Sharing (part 4)

The Networking and Sharing Center is where all you internet along with file and printer sharing is controlled.

The Vista computer that has the Network and Sharing Center shown in the below screen shot is not the computer that will be sharing resources. This computer wants to use shared resources. The computer that will be sharing resources will have slightly different setting. That I will cover in tomorrows post.

The Network and Sharing Center is in 3 sections.

• The top section shows your computer, network and internet connection.
• The middle section shows you what type of connection and strength of the connection. As in the graphic. This computer has a wireless connection that is Very Good.
• The bottom third of the window deals with sharing and security around the printers, and files you want to share.
