Hello
I am going to assume that you network it the same as any connection.(not
knowing how you connect) it will be best to go through a cable/dsl router.

First open the Properties of My Network Places, delete or disable all
connections except your internet connection, (all computers). Right click
your IC go to Properties the Local Area Connection Properties will open,
install Client for MS Network, File & Print Sharing, Internet
Protocol(TCP/IP)click Properties in this Protocol and set to obtain IP & DNS
Automatic, install NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBios Protocol(this will allow the
firewall to be enabled),click OK. Now back on your Network Connections click
on the left of the page, Setup a Small Home Network, the wizard will open
then just follow the instructions, when you get to the point to Create a
Floppy then do so, then you just run it on the other computer,(insert the
floppy in the other puter open My Computer double click A drive then double
click the link that appears. Be sure to name your Workgroup (not domain) the
same and give each computer a different name.



It will be better to have the Desktop as the host computer then you can hook
a printer to it and be mobile with your laptop.



To hook up Printer sharing just install the printer on the host computer go
to Printer and Faxes right click your printer, then go to Sharing, then set
it to Share then name it, click OK.

Go to the other computer open Printer & Faxes on the left of the page click
and a printer then follow the instructions.
