hello everybody,

we have 2 laptops and one desktop, all with windows xp
all of them connected to the internet with a wireless
linksys router. we would like to setup a network
connecting the 2 laptops to the desktop via the wireless
router. is that possible at all? how do we do that?

thanks a lot for any suggestion and help you can offer,

julia
 
just make sure all of the pc's are in the same workgroup

Right click on My Computer icon
select properties
select Computer Name
click the change button
click the workgroup radio button and type the workgroup name you want
be sure to set the same workgroup name on all of the PC's

be sure each PC has a different name "full computer name"
use the same procedure above to set computer name

Run the Network Setup Wizard on each computer, and tell it that they
connect to the Internet through a "residential gateway". It will make
all the necessary settings:
