I want a home network which I want one computer to actually connect to the router and modem, and another computer upstairs to have wireless internet from the router via PCI wireless networking card (with antenna).

Networking a Vista Computer with a Windos XP via wireless? I have a wireless network at home with a wireless linksys router that is connected to my main pc using Windows XP, I have a second desktop with a wireless USB device using XP also. Both of these computers are connected to a home network that I have set up and have no problems with file and internet sharing. I recently bought a new laptop that is wireless ready and it came with Windows Vista home edition. I connected to my home network, entered int he security code and the laptop connects fine to my network automatically and goes online fine. The problem I am having is, I cant seem to perform any file sharing with this laptop. When I go into the network section it is only showing the laptop and neither of the 2 desktops using XP which are named differently on the network. This is my first time using Vista so I am wondering if I am missing something. The main desktop has the my docs section set for sharing also.

how do you reduce home wireless networking errors? On my home wireless network , i`m getting 100`s of errors. Does anyone know why or how to reduce them. Thanks in advance. The router.adsl modem is a belkin 54g and all i can add is that on the stats page of the modem is tell me the amount of data, and errors associated with the wireless part. There are no other errors to do with the hard wired networked pc`s. just the wireless connection to a laptop. yes the router is in range....84% signal and constant. no to mac filtering. yes to encryption (wpask) all links use the same code or wouldnt be able to get a link. the wireless link does work and seems pretty stable but my question was as to why i was getting so many errors only on the wireless link. you might say "why worry if it`s working pretty good" but thats not the point when really there shouldn`t be any errors at all. sorry ppl, i cant tell you what the errors are, my router doesn`t tell me exactly what they are just the amount. If i knew what they were or what was causing them then i wouldnt be asking. Thanks for trying anyway..

Is it possible to fit a pci card, for wireless networking, to an emachines 5320? I want to set up a wireless network at home (have bought a laptop that is wireless enabled) and so will need to link up the desktop pc too. I've had a look at the back of the base unit and there are two slots available but I'm not sure if they are suitable for the purpose. I didn't just want to whip open the unit without checking this out as I'm not a tekkie! Have been looking ar routers,pci cards, dongles etc and think I may have found some good options to use with Virgin media broadband but any other recommendations would be great. I would have called the helpline with this but at £1.50 a minute I'd probably be better off calling out a local technician!! Thanks!
What type of wireless networking device do I need? Hi. I am a very tech savy person (I built my computer), however, I need some help with my wireless setup because I know almost nothing about wi-fi. Currently I have a cable modem, which is hooked up to my wired router, and that wired router connects to my two computers. I just got a laptop, so now I want wireless connectivity in my house. My question is what do I need to buy? Can I buy something called a "wireless access point" and just hook that up to my wired router with a CAT-5 cable, or do I need to buy a wireless router to replace the wired one? Thanks for your help!
