I am using a wireless network on my laptop through the wireless router connected to my brother's computer, the problem is that i have some files i would like to burn on dvd-rs but i dont have a dvd burner. my brother has a dvd burner. is there a way i can send the files through the network to my brothers computer in order to burn them on DVD-R, if so i would also like to know how much time it might take for 1GB.
Thanks

Nevermind, I've found out.
If anyone wants to know here is what i did:
>Go to My My COmputer
>Go to Shared Documents and put the file/folder in it.
>Go to the properties of the folder, go on sharing and check "share this folder in the network"

On the other computer you have to go on run and put 2 back slashes (i.e \\) and enter the i.p of the sharing computer and a folder will and the files will be there.

you could also open my computer click tools/map network drive put his ip and shared folder and it will appear under my computer like a harddrive so you can easily pass files back and forth.
