I am currently running a wireless network. GAteway Desktop (wired), its

I managed to installed USB wireless G adapter in my new Dell desktop.
What I can't figure out is what's the next step to add this new Dell desktop
in the current workgroup.
Many information sources say I can do Network Setup using Window XP, but
isn't it to creat a whole new network from scratch? I mean I already have a
networking going on with one desktop and one laptop. So the following the
direction of Window XP Network Setup Wizzard doesn't seem right.
Please someone help me with this? Thank YOu very much.

The Network Setup Wizard configures a computer to connect to a new or
existing network. Run the Wizard on the Dell desktop.

If the Wizard asks how the computer connects to the Internet, tell it
"through a residential gateway" (router). If the Wizard says that it
found a shared Internet connection, tell it to use the existing shared
Internet connection.

Specify the same workgroup name that the other computers already use.
The Wizard will make all the right settings.

Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group
for everyone to see. I'm sorry, but I don't answer questions
addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups.

I'm not Steve, but I'll take a whack at this. Try using a news client, such
as Forte Agent, Thunderbird, or even Outlook Express, rather than the icky
web interface to the newsgroups. It's a lot easier to do nearly everything
that way. You can mark messages to be watched, filter the views so you can
see replies to your posts easily, and search.

The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can
subscribe to as many groups as you like; no authentication is required.
