Heheheh... I have another question now, well, a couple actully!

1. I only have a basic Belkin G router which has been more than adequate for my modest needs, but would a better router provide faster file transfer speeds? I am currently transferring a 10gig file from my desktop to my lappie and its going to take about an hour. Would an N router thingy be any better? Or if I hard wired my lappie to my router instead of wireless?

2. Gawd I've forgotten what my other quest...oh yeah.....I can access files on my lappie from my desktop, but not the other way around, are there any settings I have to tweak on my win 7 machine?
