Yes, it hould be very simple to connect 2 computers to your wireless network. First, make sure you have a proper internet connection from the router using one of the wired ports. Once you are sure you have a connection make sure all of the wireless software is installed properly and the wireless devices are working properly on the 2 computers. Some wireless cards and built in cards come with their own utilities and software to help you access the internet but I find that it is much easier to turn these utilities off and just use the windows xp configuration utility. You can do this by finding the icon in the lower right hand corner of the system trat and right clicking it. Select the option that sais turn off, exit, use xp xonfiguration, or something of that sort. Next make sure that the wireless device is enabled. Go to the network connections in the control pannel and find the wireless connection. If this icon is in grey then you need to enable it by right clicking it and selecting enable. Then just give it a couple of seconds and windows should connect your pc right to the internet. If this still dowsn't work then you might need to open up the setup menu for the router and play with some of the settings there. There may be a restriction on the router on what specific pc's can access the internet. Refer to the router manual for this. Manuals can also be looked up at the manufact. webite. Hope this helps.

You need to buy, if you already havent a wireless router. You can pick one up at your local bestbuy, or electronics store. Then both computers must have wireless ethernet cards in order to access the network.

For that, you ought to initially setup a community between the two machines. the ideal may be the Workgroup. you will detect the Wizard for this on top of issues Panel, community Setup Wizard. as quickly as carried out on the two the machines, share a record and you have to be waiting to confirm it in the different device.
