Network

My desktop is connected via Comcast modem and a Belkin
router. Win XP Prof. We put a portable on a network, so that
the portable also gets the Internet. Everything is fine. We
have an old XP Home portable that we do not know how to
connect to the network to get the Internet. Can you suggest
something?

Thanks.

Assuming all we are talking here are wireless. Can you setup XP Home to
access the wireless router?
