Default Setting Up Network W/Wired Router

Is there any way to set up a network using a wired Linksys router? The main
computer is running Vista Home Premium, and my husbands computer is running
XP Home.

Yes, but you have to buy the parts first.. you may want to consider wireless
connections if there is some distance between the computers..
