    Hi Everyone,

    I need help setting up a wireless home network. I want to be able to do file and print sharing between my laptop and desktop (both running XP) using the Linksys wireless g router (WRT54G) Is this doable? If so, can someone please show me how. I'd really appreciate it.

    Thanks!

    Yes it will workm but depending on what version router you have. If 1-4 good to go. But if 5+ you may have problems. Manly because the router can not handle simotainious connections.
