what do i need in order to setup a home wireless network? i am trying to set up a wireless network at home for me and my brothers and sisters so that when we are in our rooms on our laptops we can still message each other, help each other with homework, and send music and video to each other. This is NOT for internet. mom doesn't let us have it b/c she says it will side track our studies. but every solution for wireless home networks that i have seen concerns an internet connection. it needs to work in a pretty big house on three floors so i don't think just creating an ad hoc network between laptops would be suitable. is all we need a powerful wireless router? can it be used to just communicate between laptops? thanks for any info!!

How do I set up a wireless home network with a desktop, laptop and printers with a wireless firewall router? We have a laptop and desktop- both used for business and personal use. We would like to have a wireless home network, with our printer, so the desktop and the laptop can connect to the same thing, with our printer. We were thinking something along the lines of two user profiles- one business and one personal- and both computers can connect to each of these profiles, and the files can be sort of 'synchronised' whenever the laptop is in range- incase it has been taken away from home for business use. We have a wireless firewall router. One of the two printers is wireless (bluetooth) and the laptop is bluetooth, if that makes any difference. The only problem is we have no real idea how to do this! Is this possible? Mail me with step by step instructions if the answer thing is not sufficient. Any thing would be a great help!

How can network users use V.92 modem on hold on a wireless home network? Greetings, I have an ad-hoc wireless network in my home and need remote modem-on-hold. I live in a rural area where there are far more deer than people, with no chance of a broadband connection being offered by my phone company. My wife and I both run businesses out of our home that require us to be on the internet a great deal through our 56k dialup connection. Clients occasionally call, and though we have the "Callwave" service and tried similar services they are not really what we need. I am looking for a way that any of the computers on the network can use the modem-on-hold v.92 feature so that any home network user can answer the call by voice even though the modem in use is on the network server as an ICS internet gateway. All computers are running XP Pro. Anyone know how this can be done? Thanks in advance

I have 2 computers hooked up to the router via ethernet cables and my Xbox 360 is hooked up to my wireless network via the Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter. The 360 was extremely simple to hook up. It pretty much did everything on it's own. I also managed to get my Sony PSP to connect to it...again virtually on it's own. I am VERY inexperienced with wireless networks, so any help would be appreciated. I would also appreciate step by step instructions if you tell me to go in and change something.

When I try to connect, I put in the key and it tries to connect, but it still can't. I don't understand why it sees it but can't connect to it. Any other suggestions?

Cannot detect home wireless network (D-Link DI-524)? I'm trying to set up a home wireless network using the wireless router D-Link DI-524.

How to set new laptop so it will pick up my home wireless network connection? We have a wired/wireless network already set up here in our home, with a laptop wireless connected to it, and two wired desktops connected as well. This network was set up by the guys at Circuit City. I bought a used laptop with XP and it has a wireless network card. When I plug it into the network via the Ethernet cable (wired)... the internet works, and we can share files, etc. But when I try to pick up the wireless signal, it won't work. What might I have forgotten to do? Should I be using the drivers that go with the network card....? Or... do I have to reset the connection so that it uses the wireless router's driver? It seems to me that with a WiFi card, it should pick up any wireless network in the area, so why won't it pick up the one here in our home?

HELP! My brand new MacBook Pro is wreaking havoc on my home wireless network! How do I make it stop? I was very pleased to recently get a new MacBook Pro... But ever since brought the damn thing home, it can barely stay online for more than a few minutes (...that is, when it is successful in connecting AT ALL), and if that's not enough, it knocks all the other machines in the house OFF the network, causing me to have to reboot the router far more than I should ever have to.

How can I share my iTunes library over my home wireless network? We have two computers in our house, one is an eMachine desktop and the other is a Toshiba Laptop. The laptop has iTunes and has an extremely large library of music. My main question is how can I share my library over my home network so the other computer can access it? I have gone to preferences in iTunes and enabled library sharing on both computers but still cant access the library. I tried to right click on the iTunes folder in the start menu and enable sharing but it doesn't give me the option. It says it's private and only I have access to it and theres no way to change it? I'm pretty sure that this is the problem http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p6/jkaczor010/untitled.jpg ^^^ What do i do if that doesnt work?

Wireless home network setup? I have two desktop computers (both on WinXP-Pro SP2), and both are on Broadband using the same connection. Computer#1 is connected to a DLink DI-524 wireless router via ethernet, which in-turn is connected to a DLink DSL-502T single-user adsl modem. Computer#2 is connected to the DI-524 via a DLink DWL-G122 wireless usb adapter. As I say, both computers can get online at the same time, but I am having great trouble getting the two computers to talk to each other. Basically I use both computers to do the same job, and only my current location dictates what computer I use at the time. However, currently I have to transfer files between the two via a usb flash-drive. Surely I must be able to get these two computers to talk to each other wirelessly so that I can utilise the files I want to use ... regardless of which computer I'm using at the time (nb both computers are always on). Can someone give me some pointers to getting my wireless home network setup?

Wireless Home Network cannot find the Internet? I have a wireless home network, the Broadband Modem is conncted using Ethernet cable to my Hub which is then connected to my Computer. The Internet works fine for the PC and I have zero problems with it. However, when I try to acess the Internet using a network adaptor on my laptop I have problems. The adaptor can associate with the access point fine, and the signal is strong. However,it then says the Internet cannot be found, even though it is working fine with the PC. I have restarted everything, refreshed connections etc, the passwords are all corect and they are all on the same channel. It does find the Internet sporadically forabout a minute then it dies again for about hours. I rang the company and used their website but they were no help. The PC and Laptop are both running Windows XP and are both up to date (SP2 and all fixes etc). Anyone have any ideas? Well, here are the extra details. Laptop is using a network adapter connected using a USB cable. The adapter is a linksys WUSB54GR and and the access point is a Linksys WAP54G. It was bought separately from the modem and is the access point/hub. Distance between the access point and the adapter does not affet the problem, I have tried it 3cms apart and 20m apart. Besides, in my question I did say that they are associating fine. I am using WEP 64bit encryption, using standard zone alarm free firewall (but I had he same problem when running windows firewall both on and off). I have DHCP and the laptop and PC are both set to find it automatically. (Also, why a I being a baby?! Or you just a flamer with no life?) BTW, the Internet is fine and running on the PC and laptop when the router/hub/access point is physically connected to either of them, it i just when I am trying to access it wirelessly.

How to set up Home network with wireless desktop? Hello, I need help? I set up a home network as follows: 1)The cable wire located in my bedroom is connected "from" the wall "to" my motorola cable modem. 2) One end of an ethernet cable is connected "from" the cable modem, and the other end of the same ethernet connected "to" a d-link wireless router . 3) One end of 2nd ethernet cable is connected "from" the wireless router "to" the ethernet "slot" of my Desktop PC. Now I want to use my desktop, but not in my bebroom since I think it must stay there always wired right? Does a PC has to be wired somewhere at the central wireless network location for the network to function properly? oR can the router does it alone? My question is that someone told me that I can just leave the wireless router in my BRoom and simple move the desktop to maybe near the kitchen and use a "USB desktop wireless" card to use the Desktop wirelessly..is that possible? If it's possible, what's a good USB desktop wireless card? Thanks Also, the reason that I had set up my network central location in my bedroom is that the bedroom has the best Internet reception. The connection is more reliable there since it's the closest to the cable telephone pole. The cable guy installed cable wires from the cable telephone pole to all around my house with a lot of cable splitters, which maybe the problem. So, the cable reception is very weak in the all other rooms causing the Internet connection to drop very frequenty driving me crazy. Does anyone know if cable splitters cause their internet connection to drop or cause weak internet connections because of distance between the pole or cable splitters? I don't want to keep calling the cable company to fix this. Is there a quick do it your self solution for me such as re-running the cable wires, buying better cable splitters in order to avoid getting constantly disconnected? Thanks in advance To respond to the 1st answer..I already have a wireless router

Can I set up a wireless home network if my main pc is running Windows XP Home? OK, my set-up is as follows: I have a PC running Windows XP Home edition connected via a cable to a wireless router. I have a laptop running Windows XP Pro with a wifi card which can pick up the internet wirelessly from the wireless router. What I want is to access the data on my PC on my laptop. I have switched on file sharing, I have run the network wizards, etc, etc. My laptop can 'see' my PC but not access any drives/fiels, my PC sees nothing!!! I have been told that the problem is due to only having Home on my PC - do you think this is correct? If not, any other ideas??? thanks
