Sorry, I know this is the XP section but there isnt a win 2000 one...
Have a two clunky old win2000 laptops/desktops and newer xp machine that me and family use. We are all connected to a wireless router. I would like to set up a home network so I can share the printer and files across all the machines in the house. Have looked in vain for a simple step by step guide for how to do this but havnet found anything that explains the whole process.
Am I setting myself up for difficulties mixing XP and 2000?
If the network is WEP encrypted I assume this is sufficient to protect the various machines despite being able to share files between ourselves?
Is the transfer speed of a new wireless home network sufficient to say watch a movie on a laptop that is physically on a desktop machine elsewhere or am I getting overly ambitious here?
Guidance appreciated...
