As I know, you don't need any program. All you have in windows. Only that you need to do is to go to: Control panel, and to start network setup wizard. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Milos Przic" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 15, 2010 12:08 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] UTP cables, wlan and networking questions > Hi all, > Although I have been using computer for some 8 years, I didn't have the > occasion to network computers, so I don't have any experience with it.
