Is a wireless lan possiable?
I have got 3 computers connected to a wireless router, (linksys WAG-54G), 1 of them has a printer. I want to know if it is possiable to set up a lan through the wireless. I want to be able to share files, and the acess the printer from the other compters. I can allready do this if i plug
two computers together with a crossover cable, but im not allowed to drill holes through my wall so it has to be done wirelessly |

if you configure them all in the same windows workgroup, you can share directories and the printer over the wireless network, once their all in the same workgroup and can see each other, you create user accounts for the machines on all the machines, and then once the printer is shared in the machine that has the printer, you install network printers on the others, they will automaticly print over network to the machine that has the printer, and sharing directories will allow you to transfer files between computers

sometimes to access a shared device/resource/directory on a different windows machine you need that machine to have a user account, it all depends how your windows security configuration is set
