Configuring Windows XP When Adding Computers to your Network When you configured the computer attached to your router, you saved your Windows home networking information to a flash drive or to a removable media like a floppy disc. This step uses this saved information to configure the computers you're connecting to your home network. To configure Windows XP for home networking: 1. Insert the removable media into the appropriate type of drive on your computer. If you saved the information to a flash drive, insert the flash drive into an available USB port. 2. Double-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop. 3. Navigate to the drive containing the removable media (floppy disk, flash drive, etc.). 4. Double-click on the icon or drive letter of the drive holding the removable media. 5. Double-click on the netsetup.exe file. The Network Setup Wizard will start automatically. 6.
Click Yes if a dialog box displays informing you that some network support files may need to be installed.
7. Click Next when the Welcome to the Network Setup Wizard screen displays.
