I am on a home network utilizing FiOS. Both my PC and Laptop utilize wireless connections (as do two other computers), with one main computer connected to the FiOS router.

I want to share folders between my PC and Laptop that the others cannot access or see at all, so that they do not know the network exists. Can someone recommend a good website to give me step by step instructions?

I have desktop computer that has a printer plugged into it. The desktop runs Windows XP. I also have a Laptop that runs Windows Vista. I have a wireless router connected to the desktop so I can connect my Laptop to the internet, but can I wirelessly print things off my Laptop? My husband uses the desktop for school and I use the Laptop for work and I’d rather not have to keep switching the plugs around.

I have a 2wire gateway and i used an ethernet cable to connect it to my desktop. I want to connect my Laptop to the internet, but I found out that it won’t connect to the internet without the ethernet cable. Without the ethernet cable my Laptop says it is connected to local only. What should I do?

Hi, so my Laptop is usually always connected to wifi but sometimes I use Ethernet, so what happens when my Laptop is already connected to wifi and I connect it to the Ethernet? Does the connection speed increase? Does it stay the same? Thanks

Whenever my brothers Laptop is on it makes the rest of our computers lag so bad. So i was wondering if there was a way to change that without beating him to turn his Laptop off xD.
But he’s not downloading anything just having it open causes the lag for everyone.

Can a computer running windows 7 connect to a windows xp home edition machine?

Friday 10 September 2010 @ 5:05 pm

I just upgraded my desktop to Windows 7 Pro, it will find everything on my wireless network except my Laptop running XP home. I have ran through the network setup on both machines & restarted each. I only see how to setup a homegroup which requires W7 on each.
