Hi, I am having tons of problems trying to create a home
network between my laptop and desktop. I have a dlink
router. I cannot get my computers to share printers or
files. I think my settings are wrong but do not know how
to change it. If someone can help me figure out how to do
this it would be great.

Also I am having trouble trying to make the laptop work at
my work (wired) and home (wireless) without having to
change the settings every time. is there a way to create
two settings that I can switch back and forth???

Need major help please!!!!!!! If you can email me back it
would be better

Thanks in advance!

Run XP's Network Setup Wizard on both computers, and tell it that they
connect to the Internet through a residential gateway (router):

The wired and wireless network connections have their own independent
TCP/IP settings. There should be no need to change them between work
and home.
