You don't need the CD or wireless, just better tutorials and plainer

Ok good, then I won't worry about the cd and yes
... I need something like "Networking for
Dummies" wonder if there is such a book - I should check on that.
Yes, File and Printer sharing must be enabled,
Did that on a few test folders and the printer.
there must be folders available, every computer must belong to the same
group and have a unique name,
Yes, I have one name for the desktop and one for
the laptop and then the workgroup name is the same for both.
firewalls must allow passage, anti-virus
must be configured, XP firewall disabled, etc. etc.
Well, from what I can tell this doesn't seem to
be a problem. But then how dumb I am at this stuff I could be wrong.
And you have to reboot every time you make a change, what a pita!
Make a change for what? When do I reboot or will it tell me?
It's worth it in the long run, once you've got it down you'll wonder why
it was so hard in the first place.
I sure hope so because this is nuts that it's so hard for me.
Go here for the specific step you missed above:
http://www.homenethelp.com/web/howto/net-xp.asp
thanks, I'll try that one, too. I tried another
one, told me to do everything I'd already done.
Maybe even start at the beginning, I know, I know...more reboots...but
along the way it may be reassuring to know it's being done right step by
step, find other stuff to do while reboots are happening :-)
p.s. I said the IP for your home network range had some "xxx"'s in it,
in Zone Alarm you would be adding a Host Range, from 192.168.0.100 to
say 192.168.0.104 if you had a number of computers on your network. IOW,
don't actually use "xxx", it's got to be a number. Use the instructions
in the tutorial (Start > cmd > ping computername) to confirm each
machine's IP address.
When I put the IP range in I put 192.168.0.000
(which ZA translated on it's own to 192.168.0.0)
in the first field and then tried 192.168.0.999
and ZA translated that to 192.168.0.255 so I
*think* I got that right and I was to put that in
the IP RANGE, correct not just the IP?
