Trouble adding new laptop to network

[Guest]

Hi all,

I am currently running Windows XP Home on a desktop and laptop that are
networked via a Linksys broadband router. The desktop connects to the router
via an ethernet chord and the laptop connects wirelessly. I recently
purchased another laptop that is also running XP Home. How do I go about
just adding this new laptop to the network?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Cartman,

First, what is your problem? Some description of what doesn't work would help a
lot here.

Next, does the new laptop connect to the Internet at all? If not, read this

If the new laptop connects to the Internet, but you can't get file sharing
working, read this article:
