Yes, you can set up the network you want.
Have a read of the above.

Any questions: post back here.

Your phone service won't interfere with anything. That is the idea of
Broadband!

I have setup networking in a new HP laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium
and found network is working fine showing all the pc in the workgroup and
able to access them also. I have also create a dummy user in my server
(windows 2000) and as well as in laptop and avail to logon server with out
any problem. But I have face problem when I have take the same to the factory
where this will be finally use. I have change the workgroup according and
create the user but it does not show all pc in the workgroup and not able to
logon/access the server (Windows 2000). And networking showing as Network2.
If I get back In the office and change the workgroup it works fine.

Please advice how I change the workgroup in the factory to access the
network including server with out reinstall the OS.

Thanks in Advance for Help and support.

OK, I admit it, I'm not a computer guy. I recently bought a new (Vista
Home Premium) PC to replace my XP PC. On the XP PC I had a wireless
network I could access with my PDA and laptop from almost anywhere in my
house. With the Vista PC I fail constantly. I have read a handful of
web articles on how to accomplish this but I apparently am missing a step.
The Netgear router is working on the Vista PC. Firewall on the laptop
is (when I'm trying to get a connection) disabled. The Network status
on the laptop and PDA show a good signal. How do I troubleshoot this?
FWIW, 'Connect to a Network' on the Vista PC and laptop show 2 networks
- one secured and one unsecured. I don't know why. All I want is the
secured.
Can I uninstall these wireless networks and create a new one?
The Vista PC also has a wired?/cabled? network to access the cable modem
and NAS. Does this make a difference?

Make sure you are connected to YOUR wireless network, you will never find
the other devices if you are not.

Did the new PC come with a Security program like Norton Internet Security,
McAfee or some internet security program rather than a simple Antivirus
program, is so I would start there.
