My wife and I are constantly on our laptops in the living room across from each other doing work related stuff. Last night we thought it would be fun if we had some kind of online/network game where we could battle each other from our individual laptops. Is there one out there? If so what is it?

I have two laptops – both acer. The first has a built in Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG and the second (an older machine) has a Belkin 802.11g wireless card plugged in. I suspect I don’t understand networks well enough but I have tried everything but I cannot get the two machines to network. In the control panel I can see a Wireless network connection that loops through a BTHomeHub-9543. This is my internet connection. I have created a new profile called HomeNetwork with an SSID called Study. The operating mode is device to device. At the moment I have not set up an security settings. My First laptop is called HomeLaptop1. I have done nothing with the second laptop which is simply called HomeLaptop2. Can anyone please tell me how I can get these two machines together. I have been driven mad with the Windows XP or my cards telling me that something else is interfering with them. Any help would be much appreciate.

Okay, I have one Vista laptop connected to a Buffalo router via wired connection (it can be wireless if need be) and one XP laptop connected to the router via wireless connection. I’m sure it’s something simple that I’m missing, but how do I get the two laptops communicating with each other for file sharing? I have a buch of stuff on my old XP laptop that I want to send to the new Vista one, and it would be really nice to do that via a network instead of copying it all to flash drives!

I have two laptops running on my wireless network. However, my E systems latop keeps dropping its connection whenever the HP Pavillion is connected. Is there any way I can stop this? Both laptops use Vista.
