Just back to the forum, been a long night, dental surgery aftermath keeping me awake.

I will be following up those tutorials after this post.
I now have my daughter's laptop showing some network items, it is logged into the WiFi and can browse the internet, that is not an issue.
here is what her Acer sees when I click on Network from NEMO.

When I click on "Windows Network", it does not show anything there at all.
Might be related to Permissions? I am brand new to Peppermint, but been using LM18.3 for a couple years, so know my way around.
From my own Linux Mint laptop, this is what I see when click on Network.

and that is exactly what I should be seeing from Peppermint, and I don't know why it is not seeing that list of devices.... the TP500L is my ASUS Linux Mint laptop that I am typing on right now.
JOHN-PC is my Win7 Desktop in the office, we should be able to click on that and drill down into the sub-folders and finally reach a dedicated folder there that I named CYNDI.
that is for her Home Business related files.... I wanted her to be able to share files between all 3 of her personal laptops, each of which has a different purpose, one is for Graphix Design where she lays out stuff for the business, the other is her Mail Central and business laptop, where she shuffles lots of paperwork around....
I just don't understand, why it is not showing the Win7 PC in my office? if I could access that, and then place the sub=folder on her desktop, I would be finished with her setup.
