Yes, Billy, I know the IP address has to be set. WindowsXP does it

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)
