Hi everyone
New to Mac and networking so apologies if this is a stupid question
I am about to set up a MacBook and iMac with a Netgear router.
The plan...
Enable WEP on router
Connect MacBook to network (wireless) with WEP password
Connect iMac to network (wireless) with WEP password
Enable file sharing in both computers
Then as I understand it the computers will appear on each others finders windows?? Click conect, add username and password, and away I go?
Is it this simple?
Also if I connect this way the communication is happening at the router level? Not actually going via an external internet connection?
Sorry I know this is probably very straightforward.
Many thanks
