How do you network two wirelessly connected PCs in 30 seconds or less.?

I am sure you meant 'workgroup' rather than 'domain name'\n(a domain is not required to network any 2 pc's.)\n\nRun the Network 'set-up' wizard on both Pc's, pick the same workgroup name.\n\nPS: you will need to re-boot TWICE...not once.

Umm... not directly no, but nothing stops you from connecting it to a pc that's connected to the wireless router. What exactly is it you're trying to accomplish? There may be another way.\n\nEdit: Hmm, well I know that can be done if both computers are on the same network, and the drive is shared. Once they're in a network as long as the computer that the drive is attached to is running, the other person could go to start menu -> run and type &#92;&#92;whatevcerthecomputernameis and it would pop up, they could browse it just like it was one of thier drives. However networking really isn't my thing, so I can't explain it any better than that, unfortunately.

If both laptops have infrared ports, they can communicate that way also, however that will be slow, hard to learn how to setup, and probably not worth your time.\n\nThe wireless cards is a good option but is also a little tricky.\n\nJust buy a cheap crossover ethernet cable online (less than $10 on http://www.pricewatch.com) and connect the two computers together via etherhet. If you use the special crossover cable both computers will be able to talk to eachother by simplly assigning each computer an IP address on the network.\n\nOne computer:\n192.168.0.2\n\nThe other computer:\n192.168.0.3\n\nOn both computers:\nSubnet: 255.255.255.0\nDNS: make this up\nGateway: leave it blank or put in the opposite computer's ip address.\n\n(You put these settings into the Internet Properties TCP/IP of the Local Area Connection properties once you've connected both computers together.)\n\nYou can find a more detailed guide by searching google for network crossover cable howto guide or something like that.\n\nYou can also find out how to setup the file sharing so you can access each computer across that cable. It's pretty easy and not as tricky as a wireless connection.

If you want to connect 2 computers, you'll need a router.\n\nIf it's a single computer, call Yahoo/SBC support for help.

Assuming the dial up one is running Microsoft Windows, you simply need to connect the two computers together and "share the internet connection" (You can do it with non-Windows also, but the terminology is different)\n\nThere are a number of ways to connect the two computers together, depending on the computers, starting out with free and moving up to 20 or 50 dollars. So:\n\nIf both computers have bluetooth, they can communicate with each other that way using the "Bluetooth Networking" icons in the Network Connections folder.\n\nIf both computers have standard wireless WiFi 802.11 networking, they can communicate with each over an "ad hoc" network (instead of the normal infrastructure mode)\n\nIf both computers have ethernet adapters, you can network them together that way. Computers built in the last few years simply need a standard ehternet cable to connect together. Older models will need a "crossover" cable which is cheap, but you're unlikely to already have one and you'd have to find it. (or, you could use a "hub" or a "switch" to plug them both into.)\n\nIf both computers have Firewire, they can connect together just by plugging together. Parallel ports can also be wired together, serial ports... it's getting a little esoteric here.\n\nIn all of the above cases, You need to establish a network between the two computers, and configure it in the Network Connections folder (tell both the computers to get IP address automatically). Then (for Windows XP) you find the dialup icon in that same folder and you right click, select "Properties" and then choose the "Advanced" tab, and click "share this internet connection" and choose the appropriate connection based on whichever one you picked from the above. Doing this will cause the primary dial up computers network connect to change from being "obtain IP address automatically" to being 192.168.0.1 and also a DHCP server, which is where the other will automatically get its address from....\n\nbelieve it or not, it's all very simple you and you have it going in 5 minutes... but there are a number of steps and it's easy to get confuse and screw it up if you don't really know what you are doing... good luck. I think I've given you enough that you could search the internet for the info you need.

Get a wireless router.  Use the laptops wifi connection.

[quote]\nCan I collaborate these 2 connections into one, and would that theoretically mean I could double the connection speed to 54Mbps x 2 = 108Mbps?\n[end quote]\n\nNo, i don't think it works that way. What i presume is that only one connection is active at a time since you have no control on what connection a program work. And btw, the speed of one wireless connection is far higher than what you get by your ISP.

if they both have an ethernet port (this looks like an oversized phone line) then you can connect them together with a special ethernet cable called a cross over cable. this can be obtained at your local computer store, or maybe bestbuy. this is a fast way, it can also be done by a direct firewire link, or an oldfashioned serial link(very slow) or through a network switch/hub/router. this also uses a regular ethernet cable, and any of the hardware mentioned above.

runt the network wizard, you have to enable file sharing on them, ans allow them to communicate

U need not connect them physically. If u hav any wireless networks cards in both of them u can create a home network and share the files etc.. Ur computer and laptop need not be in the same room but they should be able to receive the signal ...

You can make a "bridge" with the second one.\nAnd then both will be in the same network and internet connection.\n\nYou can also force the second wireless to operate in a different channel than the first one (protocol 802.11b has 13 channels), so you will have 2 wireless networks completely independent from each other.

run the network setup wizard, and when it asks at the end, make the setup disk, then run the setup on the other computer and the stteing will match

The best and safest way for you to network your two PC's is to purchase a router with 4 port switch.\n\nUse one PC to follow the router setup wizard.\n\nYour ADSL modem will connect to the routers WAN port and the to PC's will connect to two of the routers LAN ports.\n\nOnce you have one PC successfully connected to the internet through the router use the Windows Network Setup Wizard to create your local area network.\n\nGo to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network Setup Wizard\n\nNext > select "This computer connects to the Internet through a residential gateway... > Next > give each PC a unique name > Next > Provide the SAME workgroup name for both PC's > Next > select Turn on file and printer sharing > Next > apply these settings > Next.\n\nEach PC should now have a unique name and belong to the same workgroup.  Each PC should also have Network Share folders under My Computer.  This shared folder should be visible from the other PC.\n\nTo share a specific folder on a PC go to Windows Explorer > select the folder to be shared > Right mouse click > select Sharing and Security > and follow the directions for the type of sharing you want.\n\nTo find the other networked PC go to: Windows Explorer > My Network Places > Microsoft Windows Network > [your workgroup] > and all your networked PCs associated with your workgroup should be visible.  You can now expand the PC to see what folders and devices are shared.

you can use a wireless router and or a regular router and use  cables to connect them
