How do I network on wireless thoughout my house?

Hey Net, nothing has worked. On my wife's computer it brings up a admin and password screen, and when I type the correct password to the router, it tells me that it can't find the printer. I don't know how this will work :-(
This is what it does, on the URL part of the printer add, I put in my IP address
and it gives me the "Configure Internet Port" screen, and when I type in the amin and passwords to my router, it gives me this error "The current setting is not accepted by the server, please try a different one". If my hair was not already gone, Id be yanking it out as we speak

I hope you entered the full UNC path and not just the IP address of the desktop.
(eg: \\192.168.1.3\PrinterName)

Since the printer is physically connected to the desktop machine, and a print server, the router's username and password shouldn't even come into the equation.
I'm surprised it's asking you for authentication. Did you try using the Windows username and password you use to login to the desktop machine that the printer is connected to?

Hey Netryder, It kept giving me the authentication windows and tried every password I had. Nothing worked so I bought a print server and all is well. I really appericate the effort and help on this.

Yeah, that's the best way to do it. You don't need to have one computer on all the time then. I have it set up the same way.
Computers -> Netgear wireless router -> Netgear print server -> Printer
