Systems:

 

XPS1330 - Vista Home Premium

Toshiba Tecra - XP SP2

 

Internet: BigPond Broadband USB wireless modem

 

Connection: crossover cable

 

1. Internet sharing: I would prefer the XPS to be the host; if easier for Tecra to be the host I can live with that.

 

2. File sharing one way: I only need the XPS to be able to send to/take from the Tecra.

 

Please, in responding, provide instructions in very basic terms.

 

Thanks
