Hi, I have got thru most of the Network Setup Wizard but then "almost done...." part I do not have a XP CD's for either computers and only one floppy drive.

Help!, I have done so well so far, I do have internet over the wireless, just waiting to share files and printer too!
 
Are both computers connected to the Internet? You could try zipping up the
files on the disk and emailing them to yourself and then (with the computer
that doesn't have the floppy drive) retrieve the email and unzip it and run
the files from your hard drive.

Just what is your question??
Hard to offer help when you can't ask the question?

Buy a Cisco 4500 Series Router, Ask your Internet Service
provider to provide you with an international leased
circuit, or a T1 line, do the same with cingular and ask
them for a cdma with t600, then work along with Cary Boon
to get the floppy thing fixed
 
Question is how do I complete setup if the only options near completion is to make a disc, use XP CD, or other computer does not need wizard??

.........I do not have floppies on both comps, no CD as preloaded, and other computer does need ot run wirzard!

Emailing to laptop would not work as XP is looking for a floppy drive on the laptop computer when I run the wizard there argggggghhh
 
is the other pc xp also? if so you don't need floppy. just pick don't need
to run wizard on first then go to second. then right click network places,
properties, set up home network.
floppies are for making it easier to use xp with 98/ME
