    One Quick question. Have you managed to get the wireless sorted out?

    Seeing as you're talking about wireless networks in that topic.

      Our wireless service works fine, its from Verizon
       Our email is through Yahoo.com and Gmail  in Google.

      Both emails work fine but I know we just have not set up something correct and with very little computer skills this is a big problem for us

      I'm not sure what the problem might be (as I don't use Internet Exploerer) but I will try.

       ;)

        I'm just trying not to run cables to the printers from my laptop, and wanted to know if I could use a router and if so, how to hook it up

          You will also need a Print Server.

          A Print Server is another piece of hardware that will connect your printer to the network by connecting the printer to the wireless router (wired). Then, you can print wirelessly from your laptops without being physically connected to the printer.
          If you don't have time to do it right
                          ...when will you have time to do it over?
