Mac And Pc Wifi Network In Halls Of Residence

[loz_the_guru]

Well im getting pretty fed up of the shitty uni connection, which bans everything under the sun. basically, i cant use any P2P software, and i cant use a network share program (e.g. mytunes, ourtunes, the shared music bit in iTunes itself). THen the other day i had this amazing idea. we all have laptops, and they all have wifi. Some of use use macs with airport, others are all using windows based PC's.

So the long and the short is, is it possible to set up a wireless network to share MP3's, videos and the like between all the computers? If so, anyone got tips how as weve really no idea what were doing. I tried clicking set up new netwrok in OSX, people found it and connected it but i cant see there files and they cant see mine. ANy basic help/ links to informative sites would be very much appreciated, im fed up of having no (or at least very little) music!


Cheers in advance

Well simply to do that in windows I'd just make a network and setup some shares.

it should be as simple as creating an ad-hoc network and then all setting up to join it

from there just put all your music into a shared folder and you can, well, share it!
