| Configuring The Other Computers |
Now that you have configured the host computer, it is time to configure the other computers that will have access to your wireless network. This configuration is very simple; just follow these very simple steps:
9. If you configured your host computer correctly, your wireless network will now be listed on the available networks list of all computers that have a wireless network card within the range of the card installed on your host computer. Just click the wireless network icon available on the task bar or double click your wireless connection on Network Connections (Start, Control Panel) to see a list of wireless networks available. As you can see on Figure 11, we have several networks available (all from our neighbors, thus the importance of enabling data encryption). All we need to do is to click on our network (MyHome in our case).

10. After double-clicking your network, Windows will ask you the network encryption key (which we configured on step 4), see Figure 12:
