I have a Westell Versalink 327W DSL Modem/Router combo and it has four ports on the back of it. Would it be possible to network two computers (One Vista Basic and the other XP Pro) trough this modem/router and if so, how?

Thank's for replying, but that didn't help at all. That just showed how to connect the compters the the modem/router so they can connect to the internet. I need to know how to network a PC Running XP Pro and another PC Running Vista Basic through the router.

If you connect the PC's to the modem/router you have in fact a basic network model in place, the router acts as a DHCP Server. You just need to ensure they are both in the same workgroup and neccessary permissions are applied: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/ar...

Here is wired home network setup tutorial by using a wired router and Cable/DSL modem, you can take a look to get more ideas. Hope it helps..

These helped greatly! After looking at them and tinkering with Vista's settings a bit, I got it to work. Thank's a lot! William E C I AM WEC!!! http://iamwec.wordpress.com/ "If at first you don't succeed, redefine success!" - Anonymous
