Chapter 51
Using Shared Resources
IN THIS CHAPTER
Accessing remote resources
Opening documents from remote computers
Transferring files between networked computers
Using a shared printer
Using shared media
Chapters 49 and 50 covered all the basics of setting up and sharing resources on a private home or small business network. This chapter assumes that you’ve already done all of that. Nothing in this chapter will work until the network is set up, you’ve turned on network sharing and discovery on each Windows 8 computer, and you’ve shared some things on the network.
This chapter looks at how you find and use shared resources from computers within the network. It looks at opening documents from remote resources, moving and copying files between networked computers, using remote printers, and ways of using shared media.
