[Sam Slater]

Through the Control Panel > Internet and Network Connections > Set up a wireless network for home or small office.

Follow the instructions.

You have installed the router, and it's all working ok, right?

[Sam Slater]

Well you shouldn't have any issues following the setup in XP. It's pretty simple from what I can remember (I did it about 2 years ago last, but it was from an XP desktop to an Apple Powerbook)
