| 886088 | 2010-05-20 22:50:00 | Taking note of what has been written has made me really think about what I am doing. Speedy you have made me more determined to try again and get connected by cable not wireless. I am glad to be told that I am not the only person who got into trouble with the Windows Wizard. The trouble is I get lost when people start talking protocols etc. Watch out for black smoke over Christchurch - it probably means I have once again blown it. Tom |

| 886089 | 2010-05-21 01:31:00 | Dont worry about protocols. You DONT have to add any to whats already there You can either leave it on automatic or give each PC an ip. (under the LAN properties / TCP/IP entry). This is the only thing you change. If you change this option, get your ISP DNS server ips, or use Google's. So, you'll get on the net Put them all on the same workgroup. If its XP Pro, to save you mucking around with passwords, go to tools / file options / view in my computer and change it to simple file sharing. Then create and share a folder (DON'T share all of C - the main OS hdd). If you're using a firewall (besides windows firewall), you'll have to configure it. So, the PC's can share / talk to each other. Thats all you have to do |

I know some people prefer manual IP, from what I know auto IP is the way to go generally and from a professional point of view they are just practically easier for the workplace. |
