ok, so i am having a small problem connecting the two computers. i got Netgear's WGR614 and WG111 (brand new, cheap on eBay). obviously, no problems connecting the host computer (the one i am on) through the hardwired lan port and the cable modem is connected (again, obviously). the problem is the remote computer with the WG111 USB 2.0 wireless adapter running windows XP pro (host is running vista). i don't think there should be able issue with the two operating systems, since the router is handling the wireless chores externally (not going through the host computer). so, i think there is something up with the settings on the XP computer, but i don't know what. i am using the Help screens, to no avail. they want the two computers to be hardwired, which defeats the purpose of having a wireless adapter on the remote computer. what am i missing?

as always, any help is graciously accepted with many thanks.
