I'm ready to experiment with networking my Vista desktop with my XP Desktop
and Lappy Laptop. I'm on broadband cable Internet.

I have a D-Link DI-524 Wireless Router, two Airlink Wireless PCI AWLH4030
Adapters (for desktops) and an AWLC3026C Wireless Cardbus Adapter. All are
installed and working fine for getting onto the Internet. I also have Canon
Pixma iP 1500 (on Vista machine), Brother HL-1650 Laser and HP 9650 Deskjet
(on XP Machine) Printers to share.

I know there are instructions somewhere on doing this, but can't seem to
find them again. I had 'em printed out once, but they're buried right now.
Weren't they somewhere in the Help files?

Hey Nancy, are you referring to networking over wireless? I networked my
Vista desktop and XP laptop (wired) just fine. Just made sure both are are
on the same Workgroup, unique ip addresses.

Nancy:
This is off topic, but glad to see you back on the newsgroup.

Yes, it's off topic, but I wanted to get something started so we can at
least concentrate on helping each other. And I did cross post to the
networking_sharing newsgroup. Heading over there to see what's what.

Actually, if it's any use - I use the standard XP network center thingy to
get my settings up and ready - I just find it so much easier!
