another one is how do i view the neibours files over a connected wireless network? i click connect it connects..then wot do i do? i mena like if i could see their desktop screen on my laptop that would be cool. any help?
One more thing...why do you want access to your neighbors files and data? The only reasons I can think of fall in to the category of nefarious. It's both illegal and unethical. Are you looking for credit card numbers? Social security numbers? Or is the neighbor a kiddie porn freak and you are a cop trying to bust a pervert?

As for running one computer desktop from another computer (ie...remote control), there is a free program called VNC that you can download from places like download.com or tucows. You can also buy a copy of PCAnywhere from Symantec...same folks who make Norton Antivirus, that also allows remote control as well as file transfer. It requires knowing the other machines IP address although it will also work with IPX and I believe NetBEUI names of those protocols are enabled on both ends. I'm telling you this because I am "assuming" you will use it for good and not for evil.
