After you set up and physically connect your computers together, the Network
Setup Wizard guides you through setting up your home or small office network.
You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators
group to run the Network Setup Wizard.

Start by running the Network Setup Wizard on your Windows XP computer. With
this wizard you can:

Configure all the computers on your network to use one Internet connection.
Name your computer and provide a computer description.
Enable file and printer sharing.
After you have configured the first computer, run the Network Setup Wizard
on the other computers that are running Windows 98, Windows 98 Second
Edition, Windows Millennium Edition, or Windows XP.
