I would like to network a wired desktop with a wireless laptop (with a
wireless router). The desktop has Windows XP Home with SP1 and the laptop has
Windows XP with SP2. I ran the Network Setup Wizard on the desktop just fine,
and I created a new workgroup. But when I ran the network setup wizard on the
laptop, it said that a network cable was unplugged (obviously the wired cable
isn't plugged in, I want to use the wireless connection). Can I just bypass
this step and join the network anyway, or do I have to run the Wireless
Network Setup Wizard (this looks to me like all the computers must connect
wirelessly). Or can this even be done?
