Setting up a home network for a virgin

What is the best way to set up a network. Is the network wizard the way to go? Some of that terminology I dont get relative to hardware in the checklist section. I have a dell Inspiron 530, windows XP pro Sp 3 I have broadband with a westell 7500 router. I have a filtered system on all phone jacks for the signal and plugged in to the router with the phone line to the modem to the dell as primary.Periphals are an epson scanner, HP Officejet pro 8000 wireless ( i have it wired for now. thru the modem. My other PC a HP Model Pavilion d4650e with same OS. It has a linxs wireless usb adaptor for Internet supply. I think I have everything I need hardware wise to proceed with the wizard. Do I? Thanks for the input.

    hankbuck,

     

    If you purchase a wireless router, you can follow these instructions.

     

    Setting up/Troubleshooting a Wireless Network even has pictures.

    I think I am in. The Linksys wireless adapter I am using now was paired with a Linksys router that was in use before i got the new wired or wireless Modem/router(westell 7500) from my ISP. So I will just use that. Sounds plausible?

    Thanks
