I have 2 wireless laptops running off a BT hub and I want to create a shared drive so that each laptop can access and edit files and documents. Can anyone help?!

I have 2 laptops set up wirelessly. I want to share Word documents amongst them, but want to have the documents the same on each. That way if I update on one, it would ideally update the other at the same time. Can this be done?

Hi, I have 2 laptops and I’m looking to transfer files between the two. I bought a crossover cable. I just need to know the procedure to allow me to hook the two up and how to transfer files.
If anyone has a procedure or a link to a good description on how to do this it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
