    Ok so I set up a home network to share files with all 4 computers in the house via my wireless router.

    It isnt what I thought it would be, I keep needing to go to the other pc and use a thumb drive anyway.

    All of the printers got included in this set up as well and it is bogging down my slower computers.

    Soooooooooo how do I turn the darn thing off and back to 4 seperate computers who only share a internet connection.

    Please help :confused

    One way is to change the network workgroup name for each computer.
    Go to each comp and perform the following:
    Start > Right click My Computer > Choose Properties > Computer Name Tab > Change button > Member of Workgroup (different name for each one)
    Example - Workgroup 1, 2, 3, 4
    Hope this helps.
