Can I have two wireless configurations set up on one computer?

If you mean connections to two wireless computers simultaneously, yes. If you mean two completely different networks with different values and protocols (so that you can use a laptop from work and a personal laptop for example), yes, but that's harder (If you want them both connected at the same time I mean. You'll have to designate one machine in your network as a server and use it as the point of connection for the other two. I would use XP pro if I wanted to do that. Gorja tec's answer is correct too. I couldn't tell which question you were asking.

A wireless router is capable of allowing multiple connections, even if they are secure. All connections share the wireless router's signal. To add a second laptop, you need to have access to the router's security info, depending on the type of security enabled on the router. Usually it's a WEP key that you need. If you don't know your WEP key, log in to your router's management tool and find it on one of the tabs. To log in to the management tool, make sure you can get a signal from your router, then open a web browser and enter 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.10.1 or 192.168.0.1. One of those should take you to something that looks like a web page for your router. \n\nIf those don't work, and you ARE at least getting a signal from your router, then go to *Start* "Run* and enter "cmd". This brings up something that looks like DOS. enter "ipconfig"\nThat will give you a default gateway. This is the IP address for your router. Enter that as your URL and that will take you to the router management tool.

You will only be able to split your traffic between the two connections with a load balancing router. What I mean is there is no readily available way to connect your 4mb line and 2 mb line to give you 6mb of total bandwidth.\n\nAbout the cheapest you can go is with the D-Link DI-LB604.\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833127069\n\nThis router will allow you to make both Internet connections available to your network, but it lacks any built in wireless connectivity.

You can use what is called a KVM switch.  It allows you to use one keyboard, one mouse and one monitor with 2 PCs.\n\niogear makes some great products.

To connect them select "Direct Cable" when setting up the network. On your dual boot you will have to set it up twice. One in each instance oof windows. ME and W2k.\nIf you decide to setup broadband through one computer and allow the second computer to access the internet thru the first, use two different brand of NIC in the first computer. This will reduce conflicts when setting up your first computer.

The easiest way is to buy a router or wireless router. You can set them up to access the internet or not. Once they both can get onto the internet you can go to My Network Places and set up either A "wireless home or small business network" or "Set up a Home or small business network". Y ou may need to run this on both computers so when it ask for a NETWORK name put in something other than MSHOME which it sets up as a default. \n\nNext go to your Folders or Hard drives that you want to share and set them to sharing mode.To do this RIGHT CLICK on your (for example)MY MUSIC folder, Then scrool down to SHARING AND SECURITY, LEFT CLICK. It will ask you if you are sure, Hit YES and it will set permissions. Do this on both computers Hard drive or folders that you want to share.\n\nThen reboot both computers. Next when your computer turns back on go to START, MY NETWORK PLACES and left click on your network. then you can click on it and see the files or folders you selected to share.

You'll need a wireless router (d-link, netgear, linksys, etc.), and two wireless adapters (one for each computer).  Then you'll have to properly configure the router and the two computers.

you'll need a wireless router and adapter for the other computer

another solution\n buy a wireless router, and one wireless adapter.\none computer can be directly connected to the router, this computer must have a network card.\n\nthe other computer can use the wireless adapter, a USB one also can do. \n\nthats all you need ! neat and sweet without any long cables.\n\nsetting up wise its simple, refer to the instruction on the manual of the router.

No, this will not work properly. Mainly because of your intent to use the same account, you can only be logged in once.\n\nThe better solution is to use one modem, but change it to an "ADSL MODEM ROUTER" and then you can connect several computers to that. If you make it a Wi-Fi router then you don't need to lay wires around the house if they are in different places (as you say)

hi first get the wireless router and if ur laptop is wireless enabled then just connect ur existing broadband router to the wireless one and then install a USB wireless network adaptor on ur old PC and then Power on the wireless router and both of ur computers and then search for wireless networks under Networking tabs and then configure the router as to ur own needs following the easy to use guide provided with the router ok\n\nIf in doubt ask me again with more details about ur problem ok Good luck

Hi,\nAs far as I understand, this is what you are trying to do. You have a wireless network at home. Your computer is connected to it. You are installing a wired network (via a DSL modem). \nSo now you will have a wired connection as well as a wireless connection. \n\nThis is perfectly fine. There is no conflict as both are using different resources. Your computer would send /receive data through both the connections.

the only way this can be done is with either WPA or WEP protection. depending what router you have, it may be able to do one, the other, or both. WEP is probably the easyest and most secure of the two. what WEP does is it requests a "key" from each wireless computer trying to connect to your network. to do this, go to the defult gateway for your router (usually 192.168.1.1) and go to the wireless security tab. from this select the WEP option. you will need to configure each wireless enabled computer you use though with the WEP key that the router generates, sometimes it will creat a disket that will automaticly configure your computer for the WEP key.

Hi,\n\nThis should indeed be possible. For a small network, all you need is your two Wi-Fi cards. You connect them using Wi-Fi's ad-hoc mode. It's peer-to-peer networking for Wi-Fi.\n\nSo that's the first step on networking the two.\n\nUsing the internet connection sharing wizard in WinXP (if this is your OS) should allow you to use the internet connection on your connected PC on your other machine via the Wi-Fi connection.\n\nBelow in the sources I've included a few links regarding wireless networking in WinXP and Internet Connection Sharing Howto\n\nHTH

You cannot have two computers with the same IP address. Either one or both will cease to access the internet.\n\nYou CAN have two computers behind a router, with the router having one IP address, and have them both access the 'net at the same time. This usually is only done on DSL or T1 systems where public IP addresses are expensive.\n\nCheck to make sure that your server is not trying to use the same IP address as the wireless router, and make sure that you are not trying to give it an IP address that it does not already have. Many systems, including servers, are set to automatically assign itself and IP address that is given by the router.

You need a wireless router.
