I am trying to add a laptop to a existing wireless connection. I have two
desktops that are set up for networking. I paid someone to set them up for
me so I am not sure what was done. I have a primary computer that is
connected to the internet via cable modem with a router and a secondary
computer that has a wireless router. These two computers are set up to share
files and for print sharing and want to have the same access with the laptop.
The laptop is able to access the internet via an internal router. It is
connecting to the internet through the main computer connection.

How do I add this additional computer to the existing wireless network
because I have not able to make it work so far? Any help would be so greatly
appreciated.

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.
