Hello there: I have this home network - desktop connected to router and a
laptop running off a wireless pcmcia card. Laptop can browse shared folders
on desktop. Now I have another laptop with built-in wireless that works off
the same router just fine (I'm connected aren't I?) What I can't seem to do
is add the new laptop so that it can also browse the desktop's folders and
any shared ones on the other laptop. When I run the wizzard I don't seem to
find an option that really applies to me. Any ideas please?
thanks in advance

Tell the Network Setup Wizard that the computer connects to the
Internet through a residential gateway (router).
