Hello, i am using a belkin wireless router/modem for my broadband (adsl) on my laptop which is running WinXP Home. Recently my grandson has moved in for a few months and wants to share my connection on his desktop, also running XP Home.
He has bought a wireless dongle (belkin), and we have tried to set it up but to no avail. We have installed the dongle software and it can see my network but nothing we do will make it connect.
Do I have to set anything up on my laptop first or what? Any and all help will be appreciated.
Thanks for reading,
Dippylil.
