Wireless Network
      16/03/2008 12:58

Recently dumped AOL and gone to Sky for ISP. £5 instead of £27.

Sky provided wireless router which I've connected to my desktop via Ethernet. All works brilliant, can access the Forum anywhere in my house from wireless laptop. Even installed a Belkin range extender so I can get to bottom of garden. Also got a '3' dongle so can access on the boat. All fanatastic, so far.

What I would like to do now is to set up a wireless network, so both myself and daughter can share desktop resources (large discs, printer etc.) from our respective laptops.

Was hoping this might work through router provided by Sky. Have tried XP wireless setup wizards, but it don't want to know. Am I expecting too much, should I install wireless card/dongle on my desktop.

What do I need to do, any experts who can help?
