It's easy mate... open your WiFi settings... go to advanced ...there you would find a  option of ad-hoc networks(computer to computer) .. you need it to enable on both the PC's ...after doing it..you would fins the PCin the network list.......just connect and enjoy...

1.On the second PC go to the network connection, right click LAN and click properties, take off the check on the limited or no connectivity.\n2.Get the ip address on each of the PC and try pinging each computer\n3.Make it sure that theyre assigned with a different address and they are on the same block\ngood luck!

You're better off just buying a cheap router (like Netgear). If you daisy chain them - from the port to PC A to PC B, for example, then PC A will have to be on whenever you want to use PC B

You need to establish a network connection between them. You can do this in lots of different ways. The simplest is via a crossover cable connected to the NICs on each computer. You can also establish a wireless peer-to-peer connection with the proper hardware, or you can connect them using a network hub. Good luck!

I would suggest picking up a wireless router. you could do an ad-hoc network but if you want to share the internet connection, your best bet is to use a small router. for about $50 dollars you can pick up a Linksys WRT54G and have all your bases covered.   ofcouse you'll need wireless network cards for each of the computers. the documentation with the linksys router will guide you through the process. also check out some info on wireless security. (see sources)

Windows allows internet connection sharing.  Enable this for the network connection of the computer which is online.\n\nA better solution is to hook up both computers through a router.  These can be purchased for under $50 online or in walmart/target/radio shack/etc.

Going by your network diagram, i think your best bet is to remove router 1 from the network and connect router 2 directly to the modem. That removes the ambiguity of having two router cascaded in a home network like yours. Doing this, all computers can be on the same network and sharing files becomes easy,\n\nAnother option you have is to yuse a wireless bridge instead of router 2. This again ensures all computers are on the same network.\n\nA third but more intensive option you might sonsider is setting up a vpn within your network which enables you to do such files transfers. Some programs are also available which can help with this. e.g Microsoft Netmeeting\n\nIf you donot want to change your network structure in anyway, I'll advise you go for this last option.

The best way for these so you dont have no problems at all is to purchase a Router. A router will go ahead and be the DHCP server which automaticly send out ip adress to any peripheral connected to it. You mentioned that you have 3 printers, are these printers attached to all 3 workstation you have at your LAN. If they are than you have to shared them out, set the permission so everyone can see one another. Make sure that they are all in the same workgroup which could be your LAN office name or something unique.

There is no easy way to combine the BW. You can have two routers and have them load balanced, but could get costly. Also, there are routers w/ dual WAN ports also that you could look into, but if you have two isp's they will not have equal paths. \nHard to do, but possible. But no easy way.

you'll need a wireless router and adapter for the other computer

Fast and easy to setup and maintain?  Go pick up a router.  You will need cat-5 cable to stretch out to each pc from the router.  These cables cannot be more than 326 feet. Set all of the machines up to acquire an IP address automatically.  Set the workgroup to be the same on all machines (this asumes a Windows environment).  Turn everything on and give it about 2 minutes to settle down then start checking for connectivity between the machines.  Depending on your situation, wireless might work better than stringing cables.  I have a mixed network in the house here.  I also have the network bridged via wireless to the neighbors house.(Share cable modem)

Use WPA, WEP has been cracked for years. You will need to check the docs for your router on how to setup WPA.

Install an additional network card on the PC with the BroadBand Connection (or check to see if it already has two NIC ports). \n\nMake sure the other PC has a network port.\n\nIf you don't have a hub, router, wireless modem or anything else listed by the other answers, simply take a regular network cable and cut it in the middle. \n\nNow connect the Transmit Positive (T+) wire from one end to the Receive Negative (R-) wire on the other end. \n\nConnect one sides' T- to the other sides' R+\nConnect the remaining R+ to the other sides' T-\nConnect the remaining R- to the other sides' T+\n\n(I can't remember right off hand which wire does what, so research the web or email me [cjmclellen@yahoo.com])\n\nTape the cable up and plug it into the two computers which will share the BroadBand connection.\n\nOn the PC that has BroadBand already, go to the Control Panel and run the Network Setup Wizard. Follow the instructions to enable a shared internet connection. \n\nDo the same on the other PC but choose the option "connect to the internet through another computer". \n\nBasically, your internet service provider thinks that only one PC is using the connection. And they're right in a sense. Only one PC has a direct connection to web. This same PC also has ANOTHER network connection, the one that links your two PC's together. By enabling ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on the host PC, you have created a bridge between the two networks and it is serving as a Gateway. Though the second PC is able to connect to the web, it's IP address is local and is obtained from the host ICS computer. \n\nAnother method is logging on to eBay and buying a wireless broadband router and a couple WLAN cards or WLAN USB sticks. This way you might be able to pick up on your neighbors Wireless broadband connection and connect to it. Then, cancel your service and split your neighbor's bill with them. Or; if you don't like them, and/or you're a cheap scandelous bastard, just steal it and don't ever say a word about it.
