Help with Adding a computer to a wireless network.
Hi
A friend set up our network in our house with a Wireless DSL router. My housemates Mac and my computer are on the network. However the person who setup the network is moved out and we have new housemates who we want to network with. We all have internet connection through the wireless router what we are wanting to do is make it so two other peoples computers in the same house can see my computer on the network and can access the files on my computer as this is currently what The Mac can currently do. Does anyone have an easy guide to doing this please or know how to do it? Cheers |

So there are four computers? To make things easier I'll name them
Computer #1 - MAC ONE Computer #2 - YOUR ONE Computer #3 - Your housemates one Computer #4 - Your housemates one Am I right assuming #1 and #2 work together well? Also does #3 and #4 connect to the router okay? IF SO ... You'll need to run the Network Setup Wizard on #3 and #4 making sure you turn on file and printer sharing and the workgroup name is the same as the others (eg, MSHOME) To find the name of the workgroup login to #2 goto Start > Control Panel > System (you might have to click "Switch to classic mode" > [tab] Computer Name > and under workgroup it'll say MSHOME or whatever the person who config'ed the network name to remember it, write it down even and when on #3 and #4 it askes you to type a workgroup name type in what you saw on #2 finsh that all off and then it'll ask you to reboot, do that and then goto my network places and #3 and four should be able to speak with #1 and #2 and do the same with #4. Anytrouble or you need anything rewording I'll be more than happy to do so. |
