Trouble adding new laptop to networkHi all,
I am currently running Windows XP Home on a desktop and laptop that are networked via a Linksys broadband router. The desktop connects to the router via an ethernet chord and the laptop connects wirelessly. I recently purchased another laptop that is also running XP Home. How do I go about just adding this new laptop to the network? Thanks in advance for your help! On Sat, 17 Dec 2005 11:27:02 -0800, "cartman"
