well i have 2 computers at my house now along with my laptop.  For a while i had them all "talking" to one another where i could be on one computer and just go to My Network Places and be able to access the files of the other two computers.  But it seems that this only works for a while because it always seems like i am trying fix it because they randomly stop wanting to talk with one another and its really getting frustrating.  I just want to be able to type and important document and quickly be able to save it to the other computers (keeping them synced) to ensure its backed up and easily accessible.  Is there another way to do this? is this the best and easiest way? if it is, can you tell me how to hook up 2 Windows XP computers and a Windows 7 laptop? hahah

Thanks for registering for Dropbox! For accepting Nate Rowe's invitation, we've awarded you 250 MB of bonus space. You now have a total of 2.25 GB on Dropbox!

oh i see what you did there

What software are you running on your server? cos seems to me that all you need is a domain name intead of a workgroup, with a domain inside your network it will be easy as hell to share printers network drives applications, and even configuration for all your laptops...

  If you are still intersted let me know i'll be on msn all day long and i can help you out.

Use this to turn the remote computers HD's into HD's you can see in my computer. Something like that.

Map network drive. I wasn't going to get into this but if he didn't like Dropbox, I would google for a tutorial on how to do it.

Ok, then this:

i put all 3 computers under the same workgroup name and now they all seem to be talking to each other...well sort of.  my Windows 7 laptop can talk to my other 2 Windows XP computers but my XP computers cannot talk to my Laptop (the 2 XP's however can talk with each other). any ideas on how to make the XP's talk to the laptop?
