Provided you have the SSID of your network and the encription key to supply for
the wireless connection it should be possible to connect the new laptop
assuming you are using a fairly standard 54g setup. If you are using something
faster and cleverer then your inbuilt wirelsss may not be suitable.
Assuming you can get the laptop connected to the wireless then you should then
be possible to contact the other machines and their shares in the normal way
unless you have some other sotware that is preventing it like anti-virus of
firewall software.

Subject: [access-uk] wireless network frustrations!
hi all, this has most likely been covered before, so if someone can point me
to a helpfull article rather than having too repeat themselves that's fine!
smile.
ok, scenario is ... we have a main desktop pc connected to the internet via
a wireless netgear router. all fine so far! smile. we have now purchased a new
laptop, how can i get the new laptop (which has a built-in wireless adaptor) to
access the net? i take it i just ask the wireless adaptor in the laptop to
search for networks in range, put in the requested security key and off we go?
i'd rather the 2 computers had independent access to the net rather than having
to link the laptop to the net via the desktop if you know what i mean. also,
how can i get the desktop and the laptop talking to one another so i can
transfer files etc? i've had a quick look via google and keep coming across
article about how to secure a network once you've got one! i've sort of worked
that one out! i just want the 2 pc's networked first! smile.
