How can I set up a home wireless environment using two laptops (without a desktop connected to router)?

I want to set up a wireless environment at home. But I do not have a desktop computer. I wonder how can I set up a home wireless using merely two laptops and a router. Should I additionally purchase other equipments? Please advise. Thanks.How can I set up a home wireless environment using two laptops (without a desktop connected to router)?
quite easy to do



nothing else needed- assuming both are wifi enabled,



the following assumes that each of the laptops are already connected to the router via wifi



on each macine ensure that they are both members of the same network- go to control panel%26gt;system%26gt;computer name%26gt;network id. make your changes and reboot.



now go to the root of the hard drives via my computer and selec the folders that you want to share- right click on them and select sharing and security.



Turn off any firewalls, the xp firewall can be left on.



now on the other machine goto start%26gt;my network places and select the drives



to share a printer, connect it to one machine, go to the other and then goto start%26gt;printers and faxes, add a printer,%26gt;select the network printer option and then select browse until yo find it.



now when you want to print just make sure the laptop with the printer attached is turned on



cheers

ps if the laptops are not connected then use one of the laptops with the ethernet cable that came with the router. Plug it in and use the crappy cd that came with it- normally i would not recommend using the cd but you haven't mentioned anything about the router or your isp

A wireless Cable/DSL router should be fine. When setting it up you may have to do your first configuration of the router with one of the laptops hooked up with a wire. Additionally you may also have to call your ISP to allow your new router through their firewall, so that you can access the internet.
