Connecting LaptopsI have just upgrade to Broadband, and purchased a Belkin 4 port modem / router. My main computer is connected to the internet. I want to connect 3 laptops in the house through the wireless networking and have gone through the wizards and still can't get it to work. Each laptop has the network adapator on it, but when I try to connect to the internet through the laptops it says something along the lines of there being no wirless network connection. What am I missing? Can someone give me a run down of how I should be connecting these as clearly I am doing something wrong. I not really good with the technicals, but I thought it would be easy enough through the wizards. Please help. Lisa Thomas-Bates wrote:

Not just a broadband router? Assuming it's a wireless router, then can you post some info on what configuration you've done to set up the wireless network in the router? Thats the first step, before configuring any of the laptops.. Mike Thank you. I have resolved the problem.

Hi
You should build a peer-to-peer Network around a Wireless Cable/DSL Router. It should look like this: http://www.ezlan.net/network/router.jpg In addition, read this short faqs. http://www.ezlan.net/faq#onewire About Wireless.
