I am trying to implement a wireless connection to my laptop.
I now realize that I probably should not have purchased a router, a =
wireless access point would have done the job.=20

Schematic at http://home.earthlink.net/~johnferrell/Network1.jpg

The problem is that in the configuration I have created, the laptop gets =
to the internet just fine but does not appear in my local network.=20

All network machines have internet access through Internet Connection =
Sharing on the XP PRO computer.

Should it have access to the local network?
Would a link from the hub back to the router introduce more problems?
If nothing else works, will the router introduce any more problems if I =
try to use it as an access point by plugging it to the hub?

If the question is too far off topic, just let it die a quiet death =
please!
