I'm trying to set up a wireless network for my mum, but networking has never been my strong suit. Someone wanna help me out?

Here's the details:

2 computers, both running windows XP Pro, both with Viewsonic WPCI-100 adapters.

D-Link DI-624 router.

The ISP is Comcast ((shudder)).

Any help you all can give is greatly appreciated... Basically I really need a step by step. I've already installed the cards - windows seems to have no problens with them whatsoever. When I plug from the cable modem to the router and then try a wired connection to one of the computers it tells me limited connectivity and won't let me connect to anything.

well, now i can get a wired connection to both computers (though it seems like my computer is stealing all of the bandwidth away from my mum's), but still can't get any wireless signal...

ideas?

Yep, RTFM. Then if you have hard times AFTER reading the manual, then post back with exactly what you have done so far and what the problems your having in detail. So far you've asked for help but given absolutely none to anyone that would like to help you. ESP is not a common talent here.
