I'm sorry. I should've explained further but didn't think of it. Anyway, both computers use the Verizon Wireless but doubt that counts as networking. I have the modem that came with the Fios account, but don't think that's what you mean by a router. So how do I network these computers? I'm not against doing so if it's easy. Is there an alternative incase this doesn't work for some reason? Oh, let me add that I have Leopard on my Macbook and XP Home on my laptop.
