How to Hook a Wii Up to a Homegroup for File Share

Windows includes built-in support for home groups on your network so you can share files quickly between the computers in your home or office. If you have a jailbroken Wii, you can use the home group to share files with your gaming console. Adjust the settings of your homegroup so you can add additional devices, such as your Nintendo Wii, to the homegroup.
