I have a Broadband connection that runs off a router, and
splits into 2 separate computers via a wireless connection.
These two computers are not networked.
However i now have another computer in my room making there
be 3 computers needing internet. I have decided to network
the 2 computers in my room for file sharing purposes, but
NOT network the one that is NOT in my room.
i have wired these 2 computers up, and both register a
connection to the hub. I have run the network setup wizard
on both computers. One of them however, doesnt want to
complete the wizard, saying an error has occured. Both
computers are running of Windows XP. (one xphome, another
xpprofessional)
So this is my problem/question.
*How do i make my network work?
*which option do i select when the wizard asks,
"how does this computer connect to the internet?"
*If it goes through a router is that still a direct connection?
This is a 'semi-diagram' as to what i want, but dont know
how to do it.
KEY = -----> wireless broadband
<=====> Network, simple file sharing.
Broadband modem -->Router ------> PC1 <=====> PC2
------> PC3
