frustrated with networking--help!!

Hello Mag

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), NWLink IXP/SPX/NetBios Protocol.(this will allow you to
run the firewalls)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.
