Re: I am setting up my 3rd computer on my wireless...
If was working at another house, your settings are most likely correct. try checking the distance of your computer to the router. you may move the antenna or try changing the channel on your router.

Connect a LAN cable from the Netgear to the LAN port on yourcomputer, open a browser and enter the Netgear configuration URL - http://192.168.0.1 The default login = admin The default PW = passwordYou can now change the default admin password and configurethe wireless settings. Go to the wireless configuration and set up the SSID and WPA or WPA2encryption. Now apply these settings to the wireless card in your laptop/computer.

From your description, you appeared to have to have set up the printer correctly to print over your internet. Can you see the remote computer from the main computer and the remote computer from the main computer? Are both computers in the same workgroup or network name?
is it a wireless computer or the wired computer? I believe the main computer is online. Check the settings on the router. You will need to open the router set up page. here you will see the settings of the router. If you are trying to connect to the wireless network then make sure that you are typing the correct network key. Click here for more information about routers and network
No. All routers will support up to 254 devices or computers. 1. Check that the third computer is set to automatically get a IP address (called DHCP). 2. Check to make sure there are blinking lights on the back of the computer where the network cable connects. 3. network speed. your computer should be set to auto detect speed. You may have to edit the properties of your network adapter to set it this way.
If this is about a wireless setup, wireless can be touchy and sometimes difficult to get connected. Types of wireless - older computers may not be able to connect to newer wireless routers for example it may use 802.11 B, and your router is set to only use G.
Its also possible that your setup is such that your ISP provides Internet Addresses, and they only give you two. If so, it will require you to configure your router so that all of the client computer are on the LAN.
I would use a wireless router. Then you can use ps3 or laptop in the house. Or run ethernet from main router/modem to the ps3. You can buy the ethernet cables at amazon.com and newegg.com and they can go a few hundred feet.
Two ways to do this:
Since this is a USB printer and not a network printer you have to create a "share":
1. On the main computer that has the printer attached, go to the printer properties (START, PRINTERS AND FAXES, Right-click on the printer icon and select "sharing"
2. Select the Sharing" tab and select "Share this printer" radial.
3. Enter a short name for the printer in the "Share Name" box, such as: HP1610
4. Save that configuration and remember the "Name" you gave the share.
At each computer on your network:
1. Go to the printer setup sceeen (see #1 above)... and "ADD A PRINTER"
2. Select "Network" printer (not local printer)
3. Select "search for printers and the HP1610 will appear on the list.
4. Select it and follow the instructions from there...
log into the WRT54G wireless router and ensure that you do not have it set up for only handing out 4 IP addresses also check the laptop to see if it is set to have a DHCP or static IP address, if it has a static IP and your network is dynamic then this is why it wont connect.
if this resolves your issue and you are happy with the answer please grade me accordingly.
This happened to me when I had to install a wireless router in my house using my laptop to initialize the network for the first time. The start up software messed with my settings for wireless detection on my laptop. It turned off the automatic detect for wireless networks in the "Wireless Zero Configuration" (This has the settings for the 802.11 wireless adapters i.e. the one that comes with the R4000 presario)
to get to this hit start>run... and type in this: %SystemRoot%\system32\services.msc /s
go to "Wireless Zero Configuration" and enable automatic startup , if the service is stopped, start it. hit the apply button to save your settings.
Do you have a connection wizard that you can run on your computer? Linksys offers them for downloading at their website. Try that -
have you named your home network so your wireless connection can "find" it? You don't mention how your main computer is networked in. A wireless adapter for a notebook will need to have a Linksys connection wizard run on the laptop.
If you have a Linksys router connected to your main computer, it should already have the piece of software you need. Most likely, you'll need to put it on a flash drive and install it from that onto your laptop. the wizard helps also to diagnose the right settings.
If you want to post what you are using for your main network (linksys router?) and which operating systems you are using, that will help.
For example, in Vista, you'll need to enable the option for "network discovery" under your laptop's control panel/network and sharing center.
You also need to have certain settings on your main computer for the wireless to work - there are two main types of wireless connections - B and G. Most of today's routers and cards will do both, but if you have an older router, it might not be set up to handle the newer or combined types. They run on different frequencies, so your laptop might not be "reading" your router's frequency.Also, if you have other wireless/radio frequency equipment near your laptop, it can interfere with the signal being received right.
You also need to be sure that your firewall allows the linksys system to access your computer (allowed programs).
