    Hi,
    I currently have an old (7 or 8 yrs old) XP desktop wired to a Linksys and I have a secure password protected network setup between a Vista laptop and the desktop, so that I can use my wired printers and share documents.

    I bought a new desktop (Vista) to replace the old one, and I'm not sure if I can just plug it in to the Linksys and type in my network password and it will work or I need to do something more.

    I would appreciate any help on the steps I should take. I don't want to get locked out of the Linksys if that is a possibility.

    Thanks.

    yep, all you should have to do is plug it in and go.

    I'm having problems signing on the internet with my xp and wireless xp laptop. My OS runs fine until I use the wireless function key and the computer reboots, I get a blue screen and I have to load in safemode when the wireless is on???
