Q&A: How can I link up 2 computers in my home using a linksys router so that they 'communicate w/ each other'?|home router

I have 2 computers in my home (both running Windows XP) and I have internet going to both of them by a LinkSys Router. I want to know how I can use the router to make both computers photograph to a single printer. Is that possible without paying no matter what business for extra hard/software? Can I do it with just the router?

go to the website for linskys. you probably just need a driver
or its just in your settings

It sounds like you aready have them both on your network. If that is right, then the hard part is done.

You’ll need to have the printer hooked up to one of the computers. It needs to be installed and working on that computer. You also have to go into the settings for that printer, and allow the printer to be “shared.”

The next business you do is go to the other computer and go to Initiation…..Printers…. and have Windows search for a network printer. It must find your printer on the other computer.

You need to have the computer with the printer turned on if you want to photograph from the following computer.

I don’t know no matter what business when it come to having a laptop. So how do you get wireless internet? Also if you have wifi on you laptop and I have a belkin router connected on my home computer would I still need to get an adapter for the laptop? If I do need to get an adapter for the laptop does it need to be made by the same companionship belkin?

Answer by Chip
No adapters needed. Your laptop can already converse wirelessly with your router.

In the lower aptly confront of your screen is a modest icon that will look a lot like the signal meter on your cell buzz. Aptly-click it and select “view unfilled wireless networks”. that will list all the wifi hotspots that your laptop can see. Click on your belkin router (it will probably have “belkin” in the name and it must have the strongest signal on the list) and the computer will do the rest for you.

If your lap top has WiFi it has wireless card and you do not need an adapter.
The WiFi wireless card or a wireless adapter does not have to be made / manufactured by the same companionship as the router to connect they are all well-matched.

If your laptop has wifi then it is fine and can get internet no conundrum.

For wireless internet the only business you need is a wireless router in your home to send the internet into the air for your laptop to pick up.
If your home computer is directly physically plugged into the router then it’s possible that you don’t have a wireless router in your home.

To get the internet on your laptop you need to, either go out and buy a wireless router (which can still be plugged into your home computer too) to replace your ancient one, or plug your laptop directly into your unfilled router. You can take the plug out of your home computer (it looks like a touchtone phone cable) and plug it into the socket on your laptop, that must give you internet.

p.s. no you don’t need to buy the same manufacturer stuff but belkin stuff is excellent and it will be simpler if it’s all the same brand.

Lauren finished repainting the home office. I picked up a following knee-interval credenza (needed the storage and desktop interval).

You can view the first complex here.

I’m much more pleased with the new layout. I still need to tidy up cables, which I will, and pick up a flat-panel to replace the tube TV. The SonicWALL router still needs use, too, but all that’ll be done within a week, I believe.
