Hi. I'm trying to set up a wireless network over three
computers. All three of the computers are connected
through the internet, through my computer. I have a
Linksys wireless router, and both of the other desktops
have wireless adapters in them already, but not mine (I
am not sure if I need one or not for a network). I have
tried many things to get the computers connected for file
sharing (which is all I really want, besides an internet
connection). I have tried setting up a new connection, a
wireless connection, a network. None of these work, or
maybe I'm just doing it wrong. Could someone please help
me with my problem? Thanks! -Jared

You need to share the hard drives (HD) on the PC's you wish
to share files over. Right click on on the HD and select
sharing. I think you make a new share. It's best to
password the drives (can be same for all) then a wireless
hacker has a harder time accessing your data. Don't forget
thw WEP encryption too.

thanks, the drive now shows up on the other computers.
The only thing wrong is that when I go to click on "my
documents", an error comes up saying "this is restricted,
contact system manager". what should I do...is there
something else I need to unblock to allow viewing?
