    Default setting up a home network

    This is the current setup i have at my house.




    I want to be able to share files and the printer that are on computer 1 with the other 2 computers. Computer 1 does not have wireless at all. is this possible with my current setup? how would you go about doing this? i haven't setup a network before so i am looking for some simple advice.

    thanks

    Share a folder on Comp 1:

    Share a printer on Comp 1:

    http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...utt_july2.mspx

    Or buy a wireless router with a built in print server and connect the printer directly to the network.

    Easy stuff.
