set up the XP Pro first. You'll have to create a floppy/cd from the Pro machine and use it on the Home machine. The instructions in Pro will tell you how. Go to Network Connections in the Control Panel. I'm assuming your router is for the "g" standard (54mbs). Your Home system's ethernet port will give you 100mbs speed. Let us know how it turns out. Good Luck.
and life goes on...

I lived in dialup land until Verizon brought broadband to my area. So now I have a standalone XP Pro wireless laptop with a Verizon Kyocera KPC 650 card in it that works great. I also have an XP home deskto with an ethernet port. And now I have a Kyocera KR1 wireless router that is for the air card. My goal is to get the desktop onto the broadband using a hard wire from the router which has four ports, and then use the laptop around the house wirelessly. But I just don't know where to start. The beginning of the instructions say to "connect the Kyocera KR1 router to your network." I suppose that means I have to network my two computers? Does this make sense?
. I'm glad you got it working. Enjoy...
