I bought a Gateway that has an Realtek 8185 extensible wireless device built in. What do I have to do to have a wireless connection. I have a motorola router but it only lets me hook up with a ethernet cable. What do I need? The whole kit with the slip in card or just a wireless router?

Thank you in advance.

The one that can connect to the internet is the main computer and runs on Windows XP. The other one runs on Windows 2000.

I have two DELL Desktop PC's both running Windows XP. I have an old Compaq running Windows 98 I'm using as a server of sorts where I want to drop files for storage to keep the local Dell hard drives clean. I can see the Compaq shared C: drive from both DELLS, but the Compaq cannot see the shared C: drives on the DELLS. I have set security at Mid level, but I'm obviously missing something. What am I missing?

I want to share the network with a mate, but don't want anyone else to see it. Is there a way that i can make the network hidden and then on his laptop which is running vista, type in the settings of my router so that only his laptop can find it?

Many thanks

I've asked around, and everyone is pushing an $80 router. Is there a cheaper one on the market that works well for its value? I don't require super-fast connections or anyrthing. I'd like to pay $40 or less if possible.

(Brand and model number would be appreciated!!)

If I were to connect multiple client machines to a Windows Server 2003 or Windows Small Business Server 2003, is there a specific Vista version required? Would even Vista Home Basic clients be compatible. I was on the Dell website and I was customizing a machine, and it gave the option of "Upgrade to Vista Business so you can connect to network server". This I thought was kind of wierd, but anywho I am asking this just to make sure.

So my internet wasnt working for 2 days.. the sbc dsl modem was working, but my Netgear router wasnt working properly.. so I tried fixing it and my wireless internet started working again.. but I noticed I only get 5.5 mbps and at times 11, but I dont know how much I used to get since I didn't pay attention to it.. my Netgear router says it gets 54 mbps and my brother also uses wireless internet and gets 5.5 as well. Is something wrong with my router or is 5.5 mbps how much I usually get..?

I have the comcast modem that is like the phone service and internet in 1 modem and i have a problem. My daughter spilled apple sauce on it and it completely shut off. It was making like a frying sound and i unplugged it. I blowdryed it and plugged it back in and it stopped the frying sound but only the power light went on. Nothing else. After a while lights start going back on and now all the lights except the link light are on. The link light just flashes and I can not get online. I tryed calling comcast but that was a hassel and they automatically said pay for a new one or go thjrough like 5 hours of customer service. Any ideas on how to fix this so I dont have to buy a new modem?

I own a small business that just started a marketing/sales campaign. We have two people working on sales. They open an "account" and then they list all the contact theyve had with them on the front of a piece of paper then on the back, list all the phone numbers and addresses. I need a free database program that they can both update from two computers on the same network.

I bought a linksys Wireless-G Broadband router but it has a blue cable it wants me to plug in, with something plugged into my computer it isnt wireless. Did i get the wrong one? I only have this one computer (laptop). Is this router for someone with two computers who wants to link them together and give both an internet connection. Plus when i tried to install it, it said it could not work with the modem and wanted me to power the modem off and back on. I did and it still didnt work. At my last apartment it was a complex and wireless was provided with us so i all have to do was enable the wireless on my laptop and it worked. But now im dealing with roadrunner, (bc time warner does not offer wirelss in my area) and the modem and router, so I am new with this.
