Hope this is the right forum. I was wondering if there was a how to guide on setting up a home network. I have a Linksys Vonage router and a Linksys Wireless access point. My desktop is wired to the router and is connected to a usb printer/fax and an external Iomega 250GB hard drive. My laptop is connected through wireless with an Intel 3945bg adapter (HP nc8430).

I'd like to be able to access my files on my desktop and external hard drive as well as printer or fax to the printer from my wireless laptop. Is this possible? How do I set this up? Right now I have Vista Ultimate on the laptop and the desktop is running XP Pro and Vista Enterprie in a dual boot. Can I setup to share the usb hard drive and printer if I'm in either Vista or XP Pro on the desktop?

Hello folks, hope you can help me. We currently have a desktop PC at home which runs Windows XP Pro. I have just bought myself a new laptop (HP Pavilion dv2000), which is also currently running XP. My new laptop however is eligible for a free upgrade to Windows Vista. I have been getting used to my new laptop over the past week and setting up my network, so that I can share media files from my desktop to my laptop (desktop PC wasn't powerful enough to do some video editing, which is why I bought the laptop). Will it be ok for me to upgrade my laptop to Vista, have my desktop running XP and still be able to share files and generally network my computers as normal?

Is it possible for a Toshiba laptop with Windows Vista LE Home version to communicate with a Gateway Desktop running Windows XP professional. I have a wireless router and can acess the internet fine but I can't get into my desktop with my laptop.

Just want to know if it can be done before I spend huge amounts of wasted time. Thanks for any replies.
