What I have is a 2Ghz main machine now fitted with a Belkin 802.11b card+mini ariel (presume that is OK) and a 3GHz laptop with an 11Mbit/s wireless LAN card also 802.11b. Both on XP Home. I have loaded the software that came with the Belkin thing and now have a screen icon, and the software for the laptop was already loaded when purchased. SOMEHOW I have now to get these things to talk to each other. Any clues folks? We will takle all this security stuff (sounds heavy but is clearly important) once I have the laptop through to the web.
Part of that contact is clearly going to be setting up IE and Outlook with all the appropriate connection settings. I remember doing that ages ago but no longer remember what I did - and anyway there was someone by my shoulder giving propmpts. I am going to need help again.
