Network Setup Wizard - 2 networks??
I tried posting this question on a networks group this morning, but no reply
so far. Any help here... I have a wireless router for my ADSL connection with 3 computers connect via 802.11b, 11mbps. I have a desktop PC which is my main work computer, then I have a laptop, which I use when in at the office (infrequently). When I plan to travel into the office, I have to synchronise these 2 computers, but it takes ages over the 11mbps link, so I have purchased a direct crossover RJ45 cable to connect them directly at 100mbps. Both PCs have a wireless card and a wired NIC. If I disable the wireless card on both PCs and enalbe the wired card, then run the network setup wizard, I can connect them directly, but then I have to reverse the procedure to get them back to sharing the wireless ADSL link. Can I have 2 networks on XP Pro (desktop) and XP Home (laptop), without having to mess around every time I want to use them?? Both PCs have 2 network cards?? How do I do this? |

Maybe you could "Bridge" the connections.
