Hi All
I used to have a small network if you call it that
I have a D-Link Wireless ADSL 2+ Router
Wired Connection to my Ubuntu box 9.04 Desktop
Wireless Connection to Vista Laptop
I downgraded laptop to XP
I upgraded Ubuntu to 10.04LTS
Now I can't connect the computers
what I wish to do is be able to swoop files from laptop to desktop well 
really be able to have the files on the ubuntu system and work on them 
from the laptop witch is what I was doing before
Am I better off downgrading 10.04 back to 9.04
Both Computer are accessing internet just fine
Thanks for anyhelp
Chris

Seems that in haste you forgot to save in any way the relevant
'clerical' information of configuration files on working example.
Doing it "point and click" style is like playing lotto. RTFM
recommended.

Have fun.
