I have no problem setup in vista. But when I plug my usb to xp try to set up showed "Do you want to add this computer to wireless network?". I click yes then showed "depend on the wireless software run on this computer, the wireless network Wizard may not work. see article 871122 in microsoft.com" So I check and try to set up according article "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings " and I cannot succeed...anyone can help please!

- Thank you for your help! I had no problem to connet to my cable internet for almost 3 months. My question is about I try to share two computers data through wireless homenet work I cannot set up in the xp computer. Because Hawking HWU54D Hi-Gain Wireless-G USB Network Adapter used their own software and not use microsoft to setup internet connection. So when I plug in the flash drive and always showed "depend on the wireless software run on this computer, the wireless network Wizard may not work. see article 871122 in microsoft.com". I try but never can set up. Thanks!

Connect the home wireless network router box to the main PC through an ethernet cable with the PC powered off and the home wireless router powered off, then power on the PC & the router. Vista should locate the new wireless network and follow the windows vista network setup procedures. After the wireless network has been detected you then while the second PC's power is shut off you connect dongle adapter to the PC power on and XP will locate the new adapter. You will probably have to enter your networks pin for the connection.
