Help needed network (home)

[quadboi]

Hello,

Well I have 2 Belkin "Wireless G Desktop network cards"... I have installed one to the downstairs pc, one to the upstairs.

They both connect and can see each other and say they are "connected" with excellent signal strength.

I just now need to know how to get internet on BOTH of them, I am on the pc with the modem connected, and on "Show all connections" It has seperate BT connection for the modem, and the "wireless network connection",

Please help thanks!

By the way I presume they are in AD-HOC mode already as they both connected windows says.

Back again, erm I got the internet working on both

Just need to know how to see each other computers documents


Also, at the moment they are only firewalled, is that enough?
Do I need WEP/WPA?

Thanks

Hi sjohal2006,
to swap documents between pc you will need to make sure all pcs are members of the same workgroup. You can then share files between the pcs shared document folders and if you want to share the contents of other folders you need to right click on that folder -> sharing and security -> tick share this folder on the network.
I dont bother with the windows firewall as my router has a hardware one, WPA is suppose to be better security wise so try that
