I've got a Linksys access point, a wired desktop computer and a friend with a wireless desktop computer.

The score is as follows:

1. Switch everything off.
2. Connect the cable modem to the access point upstream.
3. Connect the wired desktop PC to one of the 4 downstreams on the access point.
4. Switch on the machines in this order: Modem, access point, wired PC. This PC is good to go.
5. Connect the wireless dongle onto my friend's desktop PC. 2000/XP will pick up the drivers regardless. This PC is now good to go.
6. On the wired desktop PC, connect 192.168.1.1 for more options on the access point. Consult your manual to go over the security settings and more.
