go to www.dslreports.com\nhttp://www.dslreports.com/\nYou will need the routers model number. put the model number in the search field and run a search on it. it should give you instructions on how to setup the router. You didn't put the make and model of the desktop or laptop so I cant say how to configure them, but you could research it on dslreports.com\n\nnext time put hardware specs and OS your working with

I'm gonna take a shot on this and say it is an encryption issue. Both sides of the connection (the router and your computer) must be enabled with identical encryption code. If they are NOT the same, they will not connect. Also, look into changing channels. This can be the culprit as well.\nSetup one computer at a time and then move on to the next one.\n\nHope this helps!

If you are running Microsoft XP, make sure ur wireless cards are on on both laptops, make sure they both see the router(or connect to the router) by searching for your routers wireless signal (make sure u install the router properly).\nIf they both see the wireless signal form ur router then try to use both of them to brouse the internet (if they both work) then the next step would be to:\nsetup small office network (somewhere on the left after clicking on my Network places... make sure u have the same domain name for both laptops..........GOODLUCK

You need a cross over cable to connect the two together, but this not needed since you have the wireless router. If you shared the folder thne you should be able to see it by typing &#92;&#92;TheComputerWithTheShareName&#92;WhatEverYouNamedTheShare If you can't see it thne check your firewall settings on the computer with the share. You may want to temporaily drop the firewalls jsut to make sure they are not causing a problem.\n\nYou don't really need a share since you can use the hidden share &#92;&#92;ComputerName&#92;c$ ( replace the c with the drive letter the files are on. You will probably need to enter a password using this method, juct type it like computerName&#92;UserName and your password for the machine you are connecting too.\n\nhth\nBruce

It should look like this ....\n\nInternet cable from Westell Modem --> router\n\n- check your WEP encryption if enabled\n- did you install the drivers and set everything up in the main system?\n- Can the computer see the wireless router (visa versa)

If the dataport is a wireless router you'll need to have either an internal wireless eithernet on your laptop or a PCMCIA wireless eithernet card. To set up you connection you will need to go to the host computer and setup a wireless network connection by going to Control Panel from the Start Menu and  selecting Wireless Network Setup Wizard. The directions there should be easy to follow.

You can configure the wi fi network for ad hock use that will enable the laptops to connect to each other.  \nHowever for internet access also between the two laptops \nyou'd have to connect one computer to a wired router vai the RJ 45 plug.  Then build a microsoft bridge between the wired connection and the wireless network.

Well, you should be able to get into your router's setup from one of your PCs (methods for this vary, consult the router's  manual) and disable *just* the wireless network. Anyone physically plugged into the router would still be able to get online, so if the laptop is the only thing connecting wirelessly, that would work.

The best and safest way for you to network your two PC's is to purchase a router with 4 port switch.\n\nUse one PC to follow the router setup wizard.\n\nYour ADSL modem will connect to the routers WAN port and the to PC's will connect to two of the routers LAN ports.\n\nOnce you have one PC successfully connected to the internet through the router use the Windows Network Setup Wizard to create your local area network.\n\nGo to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network Setup Wizard\n\nNext > select "This computer connects to the Internet through a residential gateway... > Next > give each PC a unique name > Next > Provide the SAME workgroup name for both PC's > Next > select Turn on file and printer sharing > Next > apply these settings > Next.\n\nEach PC should now have a unique name and belong to the same workgroup.  Each PC should also have Network Share folders under My Computer.  This shared folder should be visible from the other PC.\n\nTo share a specific folder on a PC go to Windows Explorer > select the folder to be shared > Right mouse click > select Sharing and Security > and follow the directions for the type of sharing you want.\n\nTo find the other networked PC go to: Windows Explorer > My Network Places > Microsoft Windows Network > [your workgroup] > and all your networked PCs associated with your workgroup should be visible.  You can now expand the PC to see what folders and devices are shared.

make sure your laptop have the same setting with the router\n1. the channel\n2. the wep key (the password you got probably)\n3. the ssid \n4. the router is not filtering out other machine by MAC address, otherwise you have to give neighbour your wireless MAC address to add in the router setting\n5. use release button and renew button on router config. page to assign address.\nIf your laptop detects signal, go to start run type "cmd" ok, then in the black window type "ipconfig /release" enter, then "ipconfig /renew" enter you should get connected.

get a switch/hub\n\nget two wires with which you can connect both the Pc's to the hub/switch.a CAT 5 cable basically\n\nboth of these wires should have rj-45 jacks on both sides.\n\njust plug in these wires into your pc and the hub\n\nonce done go to start->settings-> control panel->network and dial up connections\n\nright click on the connection that is showing up as active and go to the tcp/ip properties and give an ip address on one system(windows XP) as 10.10.1.1 and subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 leave the gateway as blank and on the other system(win98) give the ip addres as 10.10.1.2 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and gateway as 10.10.1.1\n\nthat should make it work

As it has been mentioned already, you have 2 choices.\n1) Get a crossover cable and plug the 2 laptops together.\n2) Get 2 straight through cables and a hub, router or a switch and pug them in.\nThe advantage of the second option (if you get a router) is that you can plug in a cable modem or DSL modem and share the Internet with both laptops at the same time.\nNo matter which option you pick, you then need to give the computers IP addresses so they can talk. If you go with a router, most routers have a DHCP server that takes care of that. Just let the laptops grab IP addresses from the router. If you go with the crossover cable option, give one an IP address like 192.168.0.10 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and the other one 192.168.0.11 with the same subnet.\nThen share the files and folders that you want to access from the other PC and you are on your way.

Greetings!\n\nFirst, if your laptop does not have an internal wireless card you must purchase one that goes into your pcmcia slot on the side of the laptop.\nThen when you start the laptop you will see a balloon in the task bar that tells you it has found a wireless network.\nClick on it and it will show you the network or networks. Choose the one with the most strength and then click the profile, and or connect button.\nThen bring up your browser like internet explorer and you will be on.\n\nGood Luck
