[pchelpers] Re: Networking - Calling on all computer gurus for help

I'm interested in this too Inge, and to be honest I don't know too much
about it though I have 2 PCs and my laptop, running through the router, this
connects all three to internet.  But I should imagine that you will need to
program your router with the IP address of your laptop and tell it to allow
access....................if I'm correct, anyone want to tell us how to do
it...........(at the moment, I simply transfer stuff using floppies of flash
memory, it's hassle free this way)
