| Any help would be appreciated. I have 2 windows 7 computers hard wired networked in my house. I would also like to hard wire an older laptop running XP to the same network. I am not having any luck. Is there a trick to hooking in an XP computer. Under windows 7 it was pretty much seamless. I have run the network wizard on xp but still no good. Again, thanks for any help |

| Are you using a router or hub to network these (personal recommendation, us a router). Next, you'll need to make sure the "workgroup" name is the same on all of the computers. i.e. if you name it MyHomeNetwork, it'll have to be that for all of the computers. Use the built-in help system on how to set this for the Win7 and XP computers, if need be. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf MacBook Pro 15" (Intel i5 2.40GHz), Gateway 15.4" Laptop, Windows Vista Ultimate , Photoshop CS5 |
