I am slightly confused about home networking...I don't know much about it in
general - so I was hoping someone here can help me out with this...
Here's the situation:

2 PC's - Both have Windows XP Home (XPSP2).

Broadband Connection.

1 Netgear Fast Ethernet Switch / Model FS105

1 PC has a Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC.
1 PC has a ADMtek AN986 USB To Fast Ethernet Converter.

We both have connection to the net, but I have been trying to network our
computers together for a while now, and I just can't get it to work.
I have also been trying to setup the printers so that we can both print on
the one printer -to no avail either.

I have gone throught the Network Setup Wizard about a hundred different
times...
I am getting rather frustrated here...and am MORE than open to
suggestions...

Somebody - please help me out here!

Thank You!
