Hi. I set the work group as FAMILY (all caps) since that is what my
computers are set to. I am running vista home premium. I haven't installed
service pack one yet.
One thing you can do right away is to go into control panel and to network
manager. Have it look for all computers and devices. Assuming your icon or
braille plus is connected wirelessly, your computer will see it. You can
right click on it and send a shortcut to your desktop.
Clicking on that shortcut will show you a list of all of the folders on your
unit that you have shared and also a printer one, which Jenny mentioned in
her what's new podcast.
You can transfer files to and from your unit as long as you are sitting at
your computer.
I am running the latest version of eset smart security. But it doesn't seem
to matter whether the firewall is on or off.
I just tried it with the firewall in place and was able to get into my music
folder on my braille plus.
Hope this helps and I will be waiting to see how it goes for you.
Thanks.

Paul,
I have a Vista laptop which I plan to use over the weekend to try and set up
network sharing on it. I'll let you know what my experiences were. Do you
have the workgroup name setup correctly? Capitalization matters.
BTW, what Vista version are you running?
Pratik

Hi, John. My computer name is PAUL all caps.
I tried this as you instructed. I hadn't thought to put the slash at the
end.
I got an error sayng something like gen gate. It was a pretty long error
message.
Although I log on to my desktop computer with a password, none of the
folders on my network which I share with my wife's computer are password
protected.
She also has a laptop and she can get into her desktop computer to get or
place files she is working on.
She can also get to my computer if I have a file she needs with either her
desktop or her laptop, but only the laptop is wireless.

No surprise there; you only use two slashes at the beginning of the path;
all other separaters are single slashes. I'm confused by your having put
"paul" in quotes at the head of the path string as quoted above, unless
that's your computer name. If so, the correct syntax would be:
//paul/paul henrichsen/music/
HTH!
John
