Hello all!
I thought I had researched my task well, but it seems I may have landed myself in some deep water.
Basically, I assisted a friend purchase a laptop last week, and in the shopping frenzy we picked up a wireless Router/Firewall/DSL modem.
We are now wanting to create a network which has 2 laptops, the first one (the housemates), which already exists, remains wired to the router/modem. The second (the newly acquired) connects wirelessly to the router/modem.
So, does anybody know of a resource on the web, or can provide a checklist that I can follow to make sure I don't miss anything. From turning on the machines, creating the wired network, to completing security settings for the wireless connection? The full checklist basically.
At this point, the network has not been established, one laptop connects to the net via existing wired ADSL modem.
Any help greatly appreciated.
