Re: a second pc

Assuming the wife's PC has a wireless card installed and wireless is enabled, it should automtically pick up your router (bottom right hand corner; "wireless networks found") Right click on this, then you should see the name of your network displayed (and possibly those from houses nearby). Highlight your network and click on CONNECT. If you have enabled security, it will ask you for the code. It will spend a few seconds connecting (finding IP address) then it should work. In future it will connect straight away if you tick "Automatically connect"
