Adding XP Home computer to wireless network
I have installed the wireless router on my XP Pro computer.
When I check the XP Home computer it says that the network is available with
excellent signal strength.
But, when I connect to the network I still can't access the internet.
Help on the WEB says that I need to enable TCP/IP for my wireless connection.
The WEB help displays dialog boxes with a check box to enable TCP/IP, but
not how to get to them.
When I do find a dialog box with matching title, there is no check box to
enable TCP/IP.
It seems that WEB help assumes you have XP Pro.
Can anybody give me a step-by-step procedure to enable TCP/IP on a wireless
connection on an XP Home computer ?

In the machine that is connected have you checked the properties of the
connection and told it to share with other computers on the network?

Remove the passwords until you connect OK then re-add the passwords.
Ask your neighbor to test a connect if he lives close by.
