Join 2 laptops wireless

[Diyisfun]

I have a new laptop running windows 7& my old one using xp.
I have created a home group on the win7, how to I get my xp laptop to join it.
Fed up googling, couldnt find anything that seemed simple.

Do your laptops connect with the internet through a wireless router? If so , you'll have to create a network so they can share files etc. As far as I know 2 lappy's can't communicate wirelessly with each other unless they both connect to a router.

You could install teamviewer, allows you to operates both laptops from either and transfer files to either.
