Setting Up Two Computers On A Network

[PLAZ]

I Am Trying To Set Up Two Computers On A Network Using The Wizard And My XP CD On Both Computers But I Can't Seem To Get The Second Computer On To The Network With Network Places Listed On Its' Monitor. Can Someone Tell Me How To Do This?

Can you please tell us your network structure? For example, are your computers connected directly to each other, or are they each connected to a router or modem, etc?

The two computers and a HP C5180 printer are attached to a wired router. An HP 7350 printer is attached to the #1 computer. It is the #2 compiuter that is giving me the problem.

You don't need the XP CD to do this. Just make sure both ciomputers are booted into Windows,and run the Network Setup Wizard on both computers one at a time. The fastest way to open that is to goto Start > Network Connections > and on on the left hand side under Network Tasks click on "Set-up a home or small office network". Make sure the computers are on the same work group. Generally you can leave the defaults just fine.

Tell the wizard that the computer is connected to the Internet through a residential gateway.
