My wireless network problem?
 
Hello I have my NTL bb connection going straight into my router in the office, with my laptop and desktop both connecting to the internet (wirelessly)
I am getting a printer attached to my desktop pc, is there any way I can print info off from my laptop over the network?
And is there any way of swapping files from both machines?
Both machines are connected by internal wireless network cards!
Any help would be great

Thanks Guys
Ryan

Yes you can share files across the PCs and yes you will be able to share the printer. Can your printer be plugged into your router? Then you will be able to use the printer on both computers without having the other computer on.

No there is no way of pugging the printer into the router, unless I can buy a lead that will connect printer (either port or usb) to ethernet???

It doesn't matter too much, it will just mean you will have to keep the "computer with the printer" on if you want to print from the other computer.

How would I set that up?

Go to Printers and Faxes and then right-click on your printer and click Sharing...
