Well, if you are connecting to the internet you must do? perhaps you just haven't thought of it that way?

Once again, if you are connecting to the School network and the internet, you already are ;)

I think that you need to look at this from a "top down" approach? First you have to make sure that both machines are set up to support remote access and filesharing. Until you do that nothing is going to happen anyway, so there is no need for troubleshooting.

thanks nilhil and everyone else for being so helpful. i think ive got it covered from here
