Shaz,

When you install the network cards (as you may need), it may install the
services and network components for Internet access, and for file sharing
(depending upon what you want to do with each computer). I personally would
find it simpler to just configure everything by hand - it only takes 5 minutes
either way. But to make sure that the right drivers and services get installed,
you'll probably be better off running the wizard. But wait til the hardware is
installed.

Check out the tutorials I listed in my first post above.

And since you are setting up a WiFi LAN, PROTECT YOURSELF, and the rest of the
Internet! Keep idiots like Walter Nowakowski off your WLAN. Read this article:
