Hi all
Been lurking here for a while and have picked up lots of tips. Thanks!
I'd like to set up a wireless home network. I currently have 2 computers and am soon purchasing a Dell notebook with integrated wifi. My main computer uses WinXP home. It has an ethernet connection to a dsl gateway and an Epson usb printer.
I'd lke to allow my kids computer access to my printer, but not the internet. Its running Win98 SE. The laptop needs internet and printer access. Its comes with XP home as well. What I'd like from you guys is recommendations for what to buy and where to buy it.
I have no networking experience at all so I'm looking for hardware that's easy to set up. Also good support is necessary. Both of these are more important than price to me. Do I need a print server as well if my main computer is always on? Do they work with usb printers? Let me know if more details are needed.
Thanks for the help.
