can some one break this down in simple steps and not computer language please, thanks!

First, you can find out who's connecting to your Wi-Fi network by looking in the DHCP Client List, which is part of your router's configuration and settings software. Just go to the configuration web page (where you set up encryption and passwords, etc.), and look for the DHCP Client List. You'll see the computer name and MAC address of everyone connected. If something fishy is there, you've got an interloper. Be advised that clever types can get around this rather easily: All you really need to do is use a static IP address instead of a dynamic one and you won't show up on the list. However, most computers use DHCP for simplicity, and any casual hangers-on will certainly be DHCP users.

Im having trouble with my router. Im trying to connect to the internet with a Linksys WRT54G v.5 Router. Only two computers are connecting one is a Windows Xp Home Edition and the other Xp Media Center I have a wireless card in the Home Edition so the router is connecting directly to the Media Center with a network cable. But it says "Limited or no Connectivity" when I try to connect, linksys support isn't very helpful though. Basically I want to have both computers connected to the Internet and I have been trying to fix this for 1 1/2 years. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have both a laptop and a desktop and ethernet internet from at&t yahoo dsl. To make my internet wireless, I bought this ethernet broadband router from bestbuy http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7650473&st=d-link&type=product&id=1134699413401

How do I make it to where I can scan for internet connections and find my own internet so I can have it for both computers?
(They both have wireless cards)

Also, is this even the right router for what I want?
This is what it says it does:
Enjoy high-speed access and advanced security with this router that lets you share your broadband connection with up to 4 computers.

Connects up to 4 computers to share broadband or DSL Internet access, files and games

Hi my wireless card is hard to setup with ubuntu 6.06. I dont wanna go through the hassle of configuring it and stuff so please recommend some wireless cards that will be able to connect to wireless networks easily. Like just putting in the card and having it pop up saying its configured with no work from me. Then just connecting to networks with no configuring.
Thanks

I've recently recieved a computer for the front of my house but the only wired one, and only one with a printer is in the back.
I've already been walked through networking the computers to share files and access the internet wirelessly.
that is done.
but The back computer is a tad bit old and I wasn't able to install microsoft works 2005, on the back but only in the front.
So the items made from it won't print in the back.
plus I just plain hate walking back there, (55 ft.) lol!!!
I would like a thorough description of how I would be able to click print upfront and print in the back automattically.
for reference it's an hp officejet 4215 all-in-one printer.
I would like this to be very descriptive because I'm very good with computers but not experienced at all in networking if you want to chat with me on yahoo messenger or e-mail me lengthened answers, send or i.m. it to the following addresses......

I had red flags for a while, but this is just so shocking. Now I don't think he is who he claimed to be. SHould I be worried, or will he just leave me alone??
