File and Printer Sharing

Similar with other TCP/IP networks (LAN) on Windows, you can explore the shared resources on both computers if you have assigned a unique name for each computer and an identical workgroup name for both computers and configure Windows firewall to enable file and printer sharing.

From the Laptop you can read a document or run a program stored on the Desktop, play a two-player network game, print a picture on a printer connected to the Desktop, chat using Net Meeting, etc. But, ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) is not supported since there is no ICS host (Internet gateway).
