networking with a mix vista and xp

02-04-2008, 09:34 PM

I'm trying to help my church set up a network with two laptops in the church
both xp
and a desktop at the pastors home using vista, he wants to use the desktop
at home as a server for docs, so when he updates a doc, the assistant can
access the latest updated doc, rather than one outdated, can someone give me
a pointer to docs giving advice on setting up this kind of network?
also the server at home would be access via the internet, the two in the
church would be peer to peer.
