Having trouble networking my 2 PCs
I have 1 desktop and a laptop.
they both have wireless connections but thats not how I wanted to wire them. My laptop is the computer connected to the internet, and what I wish to do is network the 2 computers together so I can trasnfer huge faster via ethernet cable. so this is what i've done: connected the laptop to the internet via wireless, connected the laptop to a ethernet router via an ethernet cable, connected the desktop to the router via an ethernet cable. now I've tried to network my PCs more than a dozen times in the past before i owned this laptop and i was unsuccessfull every single time, I just can't seem to figure it out. My desktop recongies that it's connected to the router but can't get any internet access. btw laptop = Windows Vista Home Premium desktop = Windows XP Home is there an easier way I can go about this? I would rather just connect the 2 computers with a single ethernet cable but i have also tried this and could also not figure this one out either!
