Network Setup Disk

[dan]

I have run into a problem setting up a home network. I
have a desktop and a laptop connected to one another via a
wired router. Both macj=hines are running Windows XP. I
have run the network setup wizard but have run into the
same problem. The laptop has no floppy drive and so I
can't run the Network Setup Disk. I would greatly
appreciate any help.

You can run the Network Setup Wizard on a Windows XP computer without
using a floppy disk. Here are two ways to do it:

1. Open the Network Connections folder and click "Set up a home or
small office network".

2. Click Start | All Programs | Accessories | Communications | Network
Setup Wizard.
