How do I get my three computers networked together wirelessly?

eleven asked:


I have a desktop computer with a wireless router. I have a laptop computer with a Linksys wireless card. I have another laptop computer with a built-in wireless card. All three computers connect to the Internet, the 2 laptops do so wirelessly.

How do I set up my three computers so that they can recognize one another as being on the same network? Can this be done wirelessly, at the very least, can the 2 laptops “see” each other? I’d like to be able to transfer files from one laptop to the other, but leverage the wireless connection.

I’m running Windows on all 3 computers.

    Computers can see each other.
    For that the shared documents folder and ensure sharing is turned on for that folder and ensure sharing is turned on for that folder and ensure sharing is turned on for that folder so that the computers can see each other.

    You probably need to get a router so they all can work together on the same wireless conection.
