I read the ezlan article that Jack suggested... But if I have two machines
with two wireless cards going through a router, is that considered "sharing"
the internet? I guess it is...
Here is my deal:
I have the following hardware:
- DSL router plugged into:
- Linksys G Router
- Laptop with INTERNAL wireless network card
- Laptop with EXTERNAL wireless network card
- D-Link Wireless Print server
Running XP SP-2, Norton Firewall 2005 on one, aand McAfee on the other.
I would like to share files between the two machines.
Both already share the router to access the internet. Both share the
wireless print server.
I ran the wireless wizard on the machine with the INTERNAL, OK. Then when I
ran it on the machine with the EXTERNAL, it did not allow a connection.
Don't I want to simultaneously show an active Access Point connection AND an
active Computer-to-Computer connection?
When I ran the wireless wizard on the machine with the INTERNAL, it
defaulted to creating an "OPEN" Network Authentication with WEP encryption, a
long-ass network key, and the check box for ad-hoc connection is grayed out.
Should I start over? How do I "fix" the other machine?
How do I totally delete whatever I did LAST time I ran the Wizard?
Thanks!
