Network Setup - After the move

Setting up a network with Windows Vista is easy. The term plug and play is the best way to describe setting up a home network.

As many of you who follow me on Twitter, this past week we moved. Yesterday, I plugged in all the computer, turned on the router. Instantly all but two computer was hooked up the to network and ready to go. Two of the four computers were to be split off from the wired network, by a wireless Linksys router.

To make wireless transfer secure, I chose to use WEP encryption. This meant that I have to go into the setup utility of the router. There I configured for broadcast and WEP encryption.

All I had to the computer on the other end of the wireless network and enter the encryption key. Then all that was left was to check the box to remember the connection.

Networking working for the home with Windows Vista is easy and just a matter some basic planning and going through the steps.
