ORIGINAL: Fitznicely
Turn both PC's and the router off....if you have a separate modem, turn that off too. Then switch on in this order: Modem (if present) - wait for all the lights to switch on (and at this point, I would disconnect the ethernet cable hooked to the original computer and switch it with the routers ethernet cable, then plug the original ethernet cable that came from the original computer into the router), router (wait for the lights to settle down), PC's.
Should be all you need to do.
That was all I did too with my linksys. It networks my XP computer with my husbands Vista computer. On my husbands computer though, I had to go to Networks in the control panel and tell the computer the name of the routers connection (mine is just plain ole linksys), and I might have had to do that because he's is networked to my pc wirelessly.
Oh, and I set the router to in-house only connection, but it lets you select the option that works best for you). (You do that in your control panel, under Networking.) Also, if you're networking to a computer wirelessly, that computer that is being linked to the network needs a desktop adapter, if it isn't a wireless computer.
