How to add new pc to the existing WorkGroup

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. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) 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. Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Program http://mvp.support.microsoft.com |
