Connecting wirelessly to existing wired network

Have a PC running XP connected to a Draytek Vigor 2600Gi and a Windows 98 PC
also connected by cable.

I now have a new PC I am trying to add to the network via its wireless
capability.

I have accessed the Internet via the router on the new PC and logged on to
the router via the new PC, but can't fathom out how to set up the network
locally.

Do I have to create a new wireless network? If so will the wired in PC's
still be on the network?

what do you mean ? you want to share files and stuff like that ?

it sounds like you have a netowrk runing in that you can talk to the
innernet and the router from the new PC, so its a case of getting
addiitonal services running over that network ?

From the new PC I can talk to the router and connect to the internet, but
can't see other PC's on the (wired) network

does the router have a firewall that may prevent this, or are the PCs
running one. I assume the wired PCs can see each toher.

Is File & Printer Sharing for MS Networks installed on the wireless
adapter conneciton, along with Client for MS Networks ?

Have you set "Enable Netbios over TCP/IP" on the advanced/WINS tab of
the TCP/IP properties of the wireless connection.

Is anything shared on the new PC and the old PCs to actually see
anything.

Is there a common username/password or Guest access enabled on all
machines
