You may need to connect to the machine with the external hard drive by IP address because you won't have DNS services running for 2 machines. <br />

My article uses generalized file / folder sharing, not Homegroup (which has been removed in later versions of Windows 10 in any event).

The later half of John's article should get you rolling (all credit to him), my one additional comment is that computer names should resolve without issue if connected to the same router. &nbsp;Your router <b>is </b>your local DNS server (for home networks anyway).

How to Share access between two laptops

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Wireless Networking

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
