Then of each pc you should Map it as a network drive. you can do this by going to the shared folder across the network, right click on it then select Map Network Drive. 3)I'm not sure with this but you can try this: goto Control Panel -> Network Connections. You'll see different network connections in there (select more than one connection by using CTRL + click on icon you want to combine ) right click on either icons then choose Bridge Connection 4)In terms of security, I don't think that a switch or a hub has security. I think it's in the router. Choose the best router you can find. (FYI: a switch its better to choose than a hub because it divides network banwidth almost equally not like a hub) 1) Goto My Network Place -> (on the left window pane) click Set-up a Home Network {be sure to enable Printer Sharing and the name of the workgroup must be the same with other pc)
