Trying to network two gateway computers hardwired thru a netgear wgr614. One computer is 8 years old and 1 is approx. 1 year old. the oldest uses windows xp and the newer one uses windows vista. I have no idea how to do this so a step by step explanation is essential please. My goal is to be able to operate both computers with 1 keyboard, one monitor and 1 set of speakers. Thank you in advance for your help and please have mercy on me with any explanations because even with netgears help I have been unsuccessfull so far.1 person needs an answerI do too

Networking the computers won't let you operate them with one keyboard, monitor, and set of speakers. For that, get a KVM switch . For information on how to share files and printers between the computers, please see Setting up a home network in Windows Vista Help & How-to .
