Hi I am trying to create a network between my two laptops, one has vista home premium and the other has XP home. I want to network them wirelessly using my linksys router

    Look here http://compnetworking.about.com/od/homenetworking/a/connecttwocomp.htm

    Depending on what your looking to do, gauge the security risk's carefully.

    One good way is to use VNC virtual networking client, but if you opt for this option and both laptops are connected 24/7 to the internet without the protection of a hardware firewall then choosing secure passwords is a must as is buying a virtual private networking firewall like a DrayTrek.
    One important thing to remember is that unless you are exceptionally stupid or exceptionally brilliant, few newsgroup readers will remember your name from topic to topic or from post to post. It's the post that's important, not the poster!
