Hi,
I am just getting the nerve to start my home network. I have a laptop and desktop both physically connected to a wireless router. I have 2 desktops downstairs that have wireless antennas/recievers. All computers are XP Home.
I want to network, and I have bought a "network for dummies" book. It does not tell me how to go about making sure I configure everything right.
Do I "add a network place," "set up a home or small office network," or "set up a wireless network" first?
Anyhelp to get started would be appreciated. Also, can I make it secure so no-one can just add themselves to my network?
Thank you so much.
