I currently have three computers connected to a wireless hub with a cable
modem to the internet. I have three computers (Win2000, Win98, XP Pro) all
connected. I want to now be able to have an internal LAN and share printers,
etc... What is the easiest way to do this? I am hesitant because I do not
want to interfere with the LAN connection to the wireless internet...Thanks!

Well if you just want to share Internet and printers that is as simple as checking on check box
What you want to do is get on your main computer. One that dials up to net. Go into my network nebourhood. Click on probates. A screen should come up; click on the connection tab. there is a check box for file and printer sharing. Check it. Now you have done that the ones under it should now be assessable. Check the one for Internet sharing. Now there are properties to allow other computers to ask the server to dial up and stuff. Pretty self-explanatory. Should work if not just hit ya self-cause I am not wrong, you must have done something wrong. I am not sure. If I was you I would make you most new OP computer the sever. And, if you have the disk for xp, I would put it on all of them. Xp likes its friends to be the same age. And it’s just better or support
 
Thanks... but there is no "main" computer. All three computers connect
seperately to the Wireless Router in a star format and I want to keep it
that way so the main machine does not have to be on all the time to connect
to the internet... I am just trying to be able to access each computer also.
Thanks for any information...
