How do I use the smart wiring that came with my new house to send get internet access to all jacks?
I have a Leviton Voice Data System and internet access through a cable modem.
Can I wirelessly network my laptop and my desktop if the desktop doesn't have a wireless adapter?
Essentially I have my Cable modem hooked through a wireless router which is then connected to my desktop via an ethernet cable.
I wirelessly connect to the web through my laptop.
I can’t seem to figure out how to set up a home network with this system. As far as I can tell windows networking requires my desktop to have a wireless adapter as well, even though it is connected to the wireless router.
I’m sure I’m being very stupid here and that this should be a simple thing to do.
If not is there any way around the need to get a wireless card for my desktop?
(I’m running Windows XP on both machines).
Thanks!
Thanks N2FC – but how do I get the two computers to see each other in the first place. I’m afraid I’m a novice at networking. The wireless networking setup wizard won’t connect the desktop because it doesn’t have a wireless adapter, and the standard networking wizard doesn’t detect the laptop because it isn’t physically connected to a LAN?
I need a kind of walk-through on how to do this…
Thanks.
How do I make a wireless network to connect my computer to my Wii?
I’m trying to connect it to the network but I have no clue how to even set up a network on my computer. (I have Windows Vista btw). i think it’s linksys and its supposed to be a wireless connection.
It’s also a desktop, not a laptop

How can i stop xbox life from canceling our wireless network?

How come my desk top can't access the Internet but my wireless laptop can?
Suddenly I cannot get on the internet on my desktop computer. It shows connected with no problems but no websites will come up. I’ve tried to disconnect and reconnect along with reseting the modem and router. I’ve changed the cables and still no luck. My laptop is working fine which goes through a wireless router attached to the desktop. I have cable for internet access. Do you think its the cable modem? I’d hate to go buy a new modem and still have the same problem. Can anyone help me?

How do I protect my home wireless network from being used by neighbors?

How do I connect my two Ethernet printers to my wireless network?
I have two computers on the 1st floor which is connected to the cable broadband via wireless as the cable modem and the wireless network is in the basement.
I have two printers and both are Ethernet capable. In my old house, I had everything in one room, and I plugged the two printers into the router and everything worked perfectly. This setup doesn’t work in my new house.
How can I hook up these two Ethernet printers to the network (without hooking them up through computers, as I don’t want to keep the computers running all the time).
Can I buy a wireless print server, connect the print server (on the first floor) with the wireless network (in the basement) via 54G and then use ethernet cables to attach the printers to the print server?
Or is there any easier way?
What type of printer server do you recommend?
I am having a problem with my D-LINK wireless router.?
I just moved to a new place and when i moved I brought with my cable modem and d-link wireless router with me. It was working fine at the previous place. The cable company was here earlier today and hooked everything up- everything seemed to be working fine at that time. Since I have been home I have had problems staying connected to the internet. When I try to repair the problem on my computer it says there may be a problem with my DNS. If I take out the power cord from the d-link router for a few seconds and put it back in this usually solves the problem but I cannot be running up and down the stairs everytime my computer stops – there has to be something I can do. HELP! If more information is needed please ask!
