Adding New Computer to Wireless Network

Hi All,

I have an HP computer that connects directly to a cable line along with a Linksys (WRT300N) wireless router. About a year ago, I added my son's computer (Vista) to this router wirelessly and he's been good to go since then. I now have another HP computer (running win xp home) that I want to add to this network and for the life of me, can't remember how to do it. I tried going through the steps in My Network Places to add a wireless network but that didn't do it. Can anyone walk me through the steps? I know it's easy but I guess hitting 43 yesterday made me lose all my computer brain cells. Thanks!!

 

i'm assuming that you have your router encrypted, if not when you cut on your hp and have the adapter on, it should automatically detect the router and connect, if it is encrypted. there should be a icon in the lower corner near the clock. click on that it should bring up a connection screen. click connect to device if it ask you for the key or passphrase you have to enter the one you used when you encrypted the router. After that is done you should connect
