between a
wirelessly

and wired network.

to the wireless network must
be configured with:
• Windows Client and File

and Print Sharing

• The same Windows

Workgroup or Domain
settings as the other
Windows computers in the
combined wireless and
wired network.

2. When Windows prompts for

security access rights such
as login user name/
password, you must enter
them.

networking is used, the

are commonly managed by
individuals who set up small
networks in their homes, or
small offices.
