Ok...I think I understand what you are saying, but how to do it step by step is another. I have a router connected to the internet with 3 wired connections..all the computers have Windows XP either home or Professional. I have two wireless laptops-- (win xp prof) and one with Win98SE--they both work fine on the internet. However I can't get them to print to a shared printer on one of the computers attached to the router, and I can't network either of them with my wired computers. I have searched for an answer, and you are the only one who has given me a clue to the problem. Now can you help me one step further, by explaining or pointing me to a site that can take me step by step through the process. I have a Linksys router and a Dell True Mobile 1150 series wireless.

I too have the problem of not getting my wireless laptop to print. I have a Dell pc w/98se and xp student and teacher edition on the Toshiba 350M laptop. Where do I find the site to turn off the NAT access point, and do I need to do it on both computers? I liked your article but why make people write to you to find this out, when you could have put it in the article. I have a SBC router and SBC DSL.
Thank you any help you can give me.I've been trying for months on how to get this to work.

I don't put it in because it's different for every brand of router - so you'll have to check with the documentation that came with the the router or access point. And it's something you do to the access point, so you only to it once.
Bridging mode is a technique that allows you to be connected to two networks at the same time, and act as a "bridge" between them. Most users do not need it.

I have purchased a Hub and a wireless access point on friends advice but find I can't network my second desktop computer or Laptop. Have I got to purchase a Router ?
