MN-700 Wireless Base Station

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

Ensure workgroup name is same on all computers. Also
share the drive (that you want to), only then its seen.
For attaching additional PC's, simply attach a straight
through cable from ethernet port of your PC to available
port on your 700. For joining wireless PC's running XP
with wireless card (inbuilt or otherwise), simply restart
your PC and it should automatically detect your wireless
connection.

You mean aside from the lack of details in the OP? The original poster
*might* do better to do some basic research in this group and on the Net in
general to find out about file sharing and windows. The OP did not include
(as far as I can tell) any info about what operating system he/she is using
so it is hard to offer exact advice. There are so many people who post here
thinking it is a personal hand holding forum - many of us *users* dont mind
helping but I cannot afford my time to lead people around by the hand -
especially when it is obvious they haven't done anything but moan about
their problem and how Windows on a PC isn't like using a toaster. Dig into
the problem first; do some BASIC troubleshooting and try to narrow down the
problem; do some basic research; look for people who have described similar
problems; learn how to use Google and especially Google Group searching.

There, I feel better now...
