hello, I would like any info that I can get. I`m getting ready to network 3 pcs and a laptop together. All 4 computers are running xp. I have a linksys wired router hooked to the 3 desktops. I want to hook the laptop up on a seperate router. What is the best route to go? Should I get another linksys wired or would it be easier to go wireless? Is it possible to run 2 wired routers for 4 computers and if it is what if any issues might I run into as far as all computers being able to access the internet, ect.

The easiest would be to uplink a switch to the router, and plug into that.
If you go wireless, just get a wireless access point. You shouldn't use a router unless you know how to disable what's not being used, and set the address on the second router to not interfere with the first router. Save yourself the pain!
