You mean using internet? Or just pc to cp?\n\nIf just pc to cp, you need to have a bluetooth device for both gadgets so that you can share files with each gadget. Most cp's have built in bluetooth but for pc's you have to buy...a lot are availbale in the martket

You could setup an Access point on your desktop and use internet connection sharing. I wouldn't recommend it.\n\nOtherwise you would buy a router, plug your broadband modem into that. If you broadband connects to your desktop using ethernet (like a phone cable but larger) then you are ok. If it is using USB then your boardband modem will need replacing too (or use internet connection sharing - again not recommended, although in XP it seems to work ok).\n\nYour laptop has a wireless adaptor/chipset, so you are ok there (its a station by the way - not an access point). But you will need to connect your desktop to your router. If it was connected to your broadband modem using ethernet, then you would find it easiest to use the ethernet still to plug into your router (most routers have 4 ethernet ports), otherwise you could buy a usb wireless adaptor.\n\nOnce you have set it up, USE SECURITY!  A password on your router for setup access and some kind of wireless encryption. WPA is best, but can be difficult on older operating systems, at least use WEP.\n\nAmazon can be good for this kind of equipment. But look around.

Those DSL modems will only connect with Ehternet or USB, not both at the same time.  You will need to connect the two computers with Ethernet to share the DSL connection.  XP has an Internet Connection Sharing wizard for setting this up.  You can also buy an Internet Gateway router.  This will give you better download speeds on a shared connection as the router does all of the work, not the computer that is connected to the Internet and sharing a connection.  Linksys manufactures these and you can buy them @ Wal-Mart for about $50.

I dont want to re-invent the wheel. \nhere's the link that'll explain better\nThis is assuming that you have WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION OPERATING SYSTEM\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/bowman_02april08.mspx

Sure, you just get a USB wireless adapter. It is about the size of a USB flash drive. I use one for an extra desktop I have upstairs...they are about $25 on ebay.\nIf you are going to have it as a more long term thing, I would suggest a PCI card wireless adapter for a desktop. The USB ones can get pretty hot so it seems like they could get too hot for regular desktop use. Again, the PCI ones are around $25. Both you just install and put in driver.

Why not!\nYou can create your own Wireless Network on an XP Machine, say, MyNetwork, go up into wireless advanced properties and check the box which says something about peer-to-peer adhoc network or something as such, now from your girl's Mac search over for other Networks around, the notebook might definately detect your network around the vicinity, all you gotta do is connect and authenticate...\n\nI have shared stuff with a Mac on Cable, and I doubt that the wireless network might not work, but hey!!! do give it a try...\n\nInjoy...

I think you have a USB type cable modem.  This plugs into a USB port on your pc.  This one piece of hardware will allow you to connect two or more computers together and share an internet connection.

Yes you can do that...provided you have an ethernet card in each system...you then need what is called a "null" cable or you will need a HUB...you can then do a peer to peer network....Google it and you will find the ways to do it step by step

u can do it with diffrent devices\nthe best way is make a network bye connecting this two  computer to each other , u can contact me to explain u more

First you need to make sure that both PCs are in the same workgroup. once you confirm that then make sure the Firewall is not blocking the Traffic on the XP side. I used to have this problem until I added the Computer name as part of my trusted PC in the Firewall.

If you are refering to connecting them thru IDE cables, no. It can not be done. The only way to connect two computers to achieve any sort of benefits would be to network them. The results would be the ability of file sharing & the extra storage capacity. Using certain software, you can also control both machines from one platform but that's about it.

It sounds as if you need a simple router. \n\nTo simplify the scenario, the router becomes the computer, you input your logon protocol, your user name and password (if needed). The router will have at least 4 Ethernet ports to which you can connect multiple computers.\n\nYou can also achieve this with a wireless router. If you choose wireless I would suggest a wireless bridge rather than try and install a wireless card in your computer. A bridge requires no software and is transparent to your computer, it connects with an Ethernet patch cord to your existing Ethernet card and it really pretty simple. I have used this configuration for many offices that are located in older buildings.\n\nJust a quick glimpse of one of the Ethernet bridges:\n\nhttp://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=347\n\nDon't be confused, this is an access point and a bridge, although the product may not be called a bridge, it doesn't mean it is not one. DLink is not the only manufacturer that makes a product like this.\n\nThis assumes that you have desktops, if you have notebooks with built in wireless, get a wireless router and go.

You're gonna want to make a new folder, lets say on the desktop of the XP one for now....\n\nRight click that folder and go to sharing.\n\nShould be a checkbox that says share this folder on the network.\n\nShould all be there.

XP Home doesn't have the Remote Desktop server capability.  XP Home can be a client (controlling an XP Pro machine), but it can't be a server (being controlled by another machine).  For that, you can use a program like VNC, free from http://www.realvnc.com . \n\nThese tips should help you get the computers to see each other: \n\n\n1. If the computers run the original or SP1 versions of Windows XP, disable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on local area network connections -- it's for use only on a direct modem connection to the Internet.  If they run SP2, enable the exception for file and printer sharing in the Windows Firewall.  Disable and un-install all \nother firewall programs while troubleshooting.  When un-installing a firewall program, use the un-install procedure provided by the \nmanufacturer .  Don't use Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs, which might not completely un-install it. \n\n\nFor more information, see: \n\n\nWindows XP Internet Connection Firewall \nhttp://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/ic_firewall.htm \n\n\n2. Use only one protocol for File and Printer Sharing.  If the network needs more than one protocol, unbind File and Printer Sharing from all but one of them.  Details here: \n\n\nWindows XP Network Protocols \nhttp://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/network_protocols.htm \n\n\n3.  Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers. Details here: \n\n\nEnable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT) \nhttp://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/troubleshoot/netbt.htm \n\n\n4. Run "ipconfig /all" on XP and look at the "Node Type" at the beginning of the output.  If it says "Peer-to-Peer" (which should actually be "Point-to-Point") that's the problem.  It means that the computer only uses a WINS server, which isn't available on a peer-to-peer network, for NetBIOS name resolution. \n\n\nIf that's the case, run the registry editor, open this key: \n\n\n   HLM&#92;System&#92;CurrentControlSet&#92;Services&#92;Netbt&#92;Parameters \n\n\nand delete these values if they're present: \n\n\n   NodeType \n   DhcpNodeType \n\n\nReboot, then try network access again. \n\n\nIf that doesn't fix it, open that registry key again, create a DWORD value called "NodeType", and set it to 1 for "Broadcast" or 4 for "Mixed". \n\n\nFor details, see these Microsoft Knowledge Base articles: \n\n\nDefault Node Type for Microsoft Clients \nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;160177 \n\n\nTCP/IP and NBT Configuration Parameters for Windows XP \nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314053

My suggestion, get a wireless router.  It will plug into your desktop and then you can access files and your high speed modem and printer from your laptop without having to worry about cables or anything.\n\nThat is the system I have a home with 2 desktops and 3 laptops.
