Hi,
Can anybody help me? I have no experience in networking and I am struggling
to get my home PC's networked.... This is the scenario.....
I have a desk top PC and a laptop. My desktop PC is connected to the web via
a USB modem. My idea was to get the laptop wirelessly networked so I could
surf on it. The first thing I done was buy a PCMCIA wireless card for my
laptop and a wireless router for my PC. This is where the problem started. I
brought the router off EBay and due to me having no previous experience I
brought a router which did not have a USB connection. So I though I could
connect my PC to the router via my PC's network card. The problem is when I
run the Windows network wizard on my desktop PC and specify that to be the PC
that is connected to the Web and other PC's connect via that, I get an error
on completion that the operation could not be completed due to an error has
occurred and that either other hardware or software was using the IP address
it needs.
I would appreciate any help offered.
