REQ: Advice on linking home PCs
I need to set up a second PC at home (2 daughters in full time education
plus my wife & I heavy users). I have Googled and sought commercial advice but I wonder if anyone out there could offer some first-hand experience before I part with any money. The two desktops will run WinXP Pro but will need to be wireless. They will need to have access both to the internet and to the My Documents folder and presumably (?) share a printer. I am based in the UK and have 1MB broadband (from NTL) through a cable set top box. Any advice gratefully appreciated. Stuart Reed |

Install the software and setup the router according to the instructions/wizards that come with it and start using... -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |
