This is done with a wireless access point and connecting all laptops and desktops together wirelessly. If the external harddrives have a networkport (RJ45), then you can connect them to a wired networkport on the wireless access point. If not, the external harddrives will need to be connected to the computers. You need to create shared folders on the external harddrives and the computers to hold the files and folders you want to share. You need configure the laptops and desktops to allow access. In windows XP you need to set up at least one userid and password on all computers that is granted access to the shared files and folders. In windows Vista and 7 you can use Public and then no userids and passwords are required. In XP, for computer A to see a shared folder on computer B, you need to use Map Network drive. You will find this in Windows Explorer (NOT Internet explorer, in the menu, select Tools and then Map Network Drive)
