ANOTHER Stupid Wireless/Network Question
I have spent hours researching this (REALLY, I have) to no avail. It's such a seemingly simple question that I'm almost ashamed to ask. Well, here goes.
Does a home "network" encompass internet AND file/printer sharing or are file/printer sharing and internet sharing two seperate networks.
I have a 802.11 network that allows my desktop, laptop (both w/XP), and Ipaq 4155 all share internet access. My printer is connected to the desktop via USB cable.
My question is do I have everything in place to set up a file/printer sharing network? My current process is to complete an assignment on my laptop, save to my SD card, boot up my desktop, insert sd card, print file.
I see that w/XP appears to make it easy to set up a network. I just can't tell if I have everything in place or need new equipment.
Thanx for any thoughts/suggestions.
