so i bought a d-link wireless g pci adapter for my mom's computer and a netgear wireless g wireless router for my computer. i hook up the router to my pc and set my pc up to automatically obtain the IP address and the same with my mom's. well the power light is on on the router, the light shows that my computer is hooked up also. however, i cannot get the two pcs to communicate--i canot see each other in the network neighborhood.
on my mom's computer, i have the pci-card installed and it says that signal strength is excellent (small house) so i assume that would be working but the connection seems to disconnect every 10 seconds.
btw i don't actually have the internet. i will be getting broadband soon but i just wanted to toy around with this stuff to see if the two computers could be linked with my limited knowledge.
Router is set to DHCP.
any suggestions?
