Topic: 1st time running a network at home... Posted: 03 May 2011 at 2:20pm |
I know sounds noobish but never had to run a network because I always had 1 computer but now my cousin who just bought a DS computer ( recommended by me) asked if I could run a network from the new computer to the old through WiFi. Of course she tells me after I bought the computer for her....aarrghh..
So basically I want to figure out what I need to buy and how to do it.
1st this is her new computer specs ( yeah its not a gaming rig shes a professor that teaches classes online)
