I'm going crazy. I have a wireless base station that I
set up on my main computer which is connected by an
ethernet card. I have a wireless USB on a second
computer and a Laptop wireless notebook adaptor. The
second computer and the laptop "see" each other. The
main computer sees no one. The workgroups are named the
same. The SSID is the same and the same name as the
workgroup. When I try to set up the main computer, I get
almost all the way through when I get this
message "Spooler Subsystem App has encountered a problem
and needs to close". I've read the manual ad nausem.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need another PC wireless
adapter for my primary computer, so we can all connect?
All of the computers can connect to the internet. I just
want to share files/printers between them all. All use
Windows XP or XP Professional. The model is a Motorala
SB 5100. The cable is Adelphia, connected to the
Motorola, then to the base station. The primary computer
is connected to the base station through a PCI ethernet
card and cable. I'm going in circles but I have to
believe it's a simple fix that I just can't see the
forest through the trees anymore. Can anyone help?

This error message makes me think this is a Windows issue "Spooler
Subsystem App has encountered a problem and needs to close". This is
because the spooler is a part of Windows for printing not for
networking. You might have better luck posting in the Windows XP newsgroup.
