NETGEAR Networking

**raiyanb** · February 28th, 2005, 09:24 PM

Hey people,

Ive connected my dekstop PC and a laptop usign a PCI (WG311) and PC card (WG511) NETGEAR wireless adapter to a NETGEAR wireless router (DG834G). The connection to the router is fine and i can share the boradband internet connection. The only thing im not sure how to do is to share files or printers using these NETGEAR products. Id also like to make it so my desktop PC can act as the main master computer and can control the laptop while the laptop is more limited in the folders or drives it can access on the desktop. Will anyone be able to help me out please?

Thanks

what os's are you running? everything you do with the file sharing will deal with the OS. Not the netgear network.

You need to setup your home networking as GroundZero3 said.

just follow the steps for the os. it doesnt matter if its wired or wireless as its on the same network.

thanks for the reply.

One more thing. I know that my wireless adapters are connected to the router cos i can access the internet and share the same connection. But im not sure whether the two computers are connected to each other. How can i tell?
