Hi,
I currently have an Actiontec GT701-WG router (built in modem) connected via ethernet to my main computer. This router is also connected to the internet. Now the thing is, I have another computer that I'd like to set up a wireless network with. The second one has a Netgear WG311 wireless PCI card and I can share the internet connection perfectly but when I try to use windows 'Set up a wireless netowork' I just can't get it to set up so that I can share files and printers.
Could someone please explain the steps I need to take to do this? Is the router (connected via ethernet) on my main computer enough to share files?
Thanks.
[edit] both computers are using Windows XP SP2
