Question New Laptop
My Dads gone and bought my Mum a Laptop and he bought a Router as well. As My PC Upstairs is the one that is connected to Broadband I could use some help as to what I need to do on Xmas Morning.


1) I plug in the router what do i connect to it? What happens with my NTL Modem?

2) When i set up the Router correctly do i change anything on "MY" Pc to allow my Mums Laptop to share Broadband? If so What?

3) Assuming i have done 1 and 2 correctly do i need to set anything up on her Laptop? Or will she be able to Surf the Net straight away?

4) Can i send Files from my PC to her Laptop Downstairs without wires or is that madness? IE Send a Movie Clip.

5) Is there anything else I need to know? This is new territory for me and i dont want to screw either machine up sorting it out Xmas morning, Or loose my Broadband messing around.
