We have four pcs, two downstairs that are wireless and two upstairs that are not. We have them all connected with a Westell 327W modem/router for our DSL Internet connection, and I wanted to know if I can use this router to share resources (like files, printer, etc.) between computers or do I need to purchase a separate router. If this is possible, how do I create this network? All computers have XP. Thanks!
