I know very little about netwoking, but do have a small network at home.
I have a Netgear DG384GT wireless router, with my main PC wired to it.
I also have a second desktop on the wireless network connected through a WG111 USB adapter.
This all works OK.
I am about to get a laptop from work that comes with a WiFi card, but I do not know any more about it till it arrives. I woudl like at least to be able to connect to the internet through my wireless router, but do not know how easy this will be.
My existing network was set up using Netgear software (very easily), but the new laptop won't have netgear stuff. Will I need to do anything fancy to get it connected? Or will it just work happily first time cos computer networking is easy and fool (me) proof?
All PCs running XP (I hope the new one has Pro the other 2 do).
Excuse my ignorance
