How do I get my three computers networked together wirelessly? 9

eleven asked:


I have a desktop computer with a wireless router. I have a laptop computer with a Linksys wireless card. I have another laptop computer with a built-in wireless card. All three computers connect to the Internet, the 2 laptops do so wirelessly.

How do I set up my three computers so that they can recognize one another as being on the same network? Can this be done wirelessly, at the very least, can the 2 laptops see each other? I’d like to be able to transfer files from one laptop to the other, but leverage the wireless connection.

I’m running Windows on all 3 computers.

How do I add more computers to a wireless network? 4

Stardust asked:


I have recently moved home to my parents, and can no longer connect to their wireless network.

There is a box saying ‘attempting to connect’ or something, and then I get an error message.

I think the problem might be that my sister has got a laptop since I have been away, and so there are currently 4 computers connected to the network. I heard that some networks automatically set a limit of 4 client PCs, so how do I increase this?

I think I read something about logging into a router, but cant remember anything more. Incidentally, the wireless box is not physically connected to any of the computers.

Hope you guys can help, thanks!

How do I transfer files over my home network to different computers? 1

Ben Mason asked:


I have two laptops, two computers and an XBOX 360 all connected to the same router. The 360 and one of the desktop computers are wired to the router. The two laptops and other desktop computer are connected via wireless.

Usually I open up to separate MSN accounts on the two different computers I want to transfer the files between and then send them that way but I was wondering if there was actually a proper way to transfer files over my home network?
