OK. i have a bt home hub and wish to network two computers. I want them to share files and a printer (that is connect to USB A on the back of the hub which works perfectly as the hub can be used as a print server). My main pc is vista which is connected via ethernet and the other is XP connected via wireless.Please give me a step-by-step guide on how to network the two! thanks! (BTW My printer is espon d78)

the router should network them automatically.



any files you want to share just right click the folder and select sharing, vista and XP dont like to share files very easily. so i suggest you google it.

Your router should auto connect your wired computers, for wireless if your router has security enabled you will need to set the pass code. There is no easy step by step I can type since I dont know your router that well. Things you need to know for wireless.



1) passcode, you should be able to browse to your router with the info that came with your router.



2) make sure your security is on so no one else can use your network without you knowing about it



3) Make sure you have file sharing and printer sharing enabled on both computers.
