Basically I have a wireless ADSL router that shares the internet connection between my Dads PC and my laptop, I was wondering if there is anyway I could set up a network so I could transfer some of the files from my Dads PC to my laptop over the router. Any help would be great

Sounds like firewalls, disable teh firewalls or add them to the allowed lists.
