Help with Wireless
Ok, I have a wireless Linksys-G router, that is sending internet to my
desktop and laptop. Is their a way to set up a connection thru the wireless
so I can have both computers using the same user accounts. Say I have an
account on desktop, or I add one that says Guest. I want it to show up on my
laptop. Is that possiable?

Hi Matt,
What you want to achieve is not entirely possible but you can do something similar to that by using
Remote Desktop to view the desktop of one machine from another one. You will find more information
and help at this site:

Hope this helps.

I kinda think it would be, b/c I have seen several places that have had all
accounts at the same computers. At the local school, each person can log
onto their account from any computer within the network.

Hi Matt,
You might be referring to 'Roaming Profiles' which is available under a Domain environment. More
