I'm ok with using a wireless internet connection. Used a few, in XP Pro.
But in XP home, you don't have the option to connect to a wireless network, only to start one.
Anyone know if there is a way to just pick up a Wirless nertwork already set up?
thanks

If you have a wireless connection to another PC, isn't just a simple case of joining the same domain the other PC(s) are on? Then you should be able to see any shares that are setup. Or do you mean you haven't connected to the other PC(s) wirelessly yet?

Maybe I shouldn't have used the word network. As all I want to do is use an internet connection.
The Wireless Access Point, the PC with the router giving out the signal, is on XP Pro. I've already used a laptop also on Pro, to connect to the internet using this signal. I now want to connect another PC to the signal, but in XP Home edition, the option to connect to a wireless network is not there, like in Pro.

If it service pack two, when the wireless connection is connected.. the dongle or whatever, there should be an icon bottom right ??? double click and select your network ?
