Where are you stuck at? For a beginning you need wireless network adapters for each computer you want to be able to access the router wireless.

if you have the wireless adapters then just use the windows network setup utility.

and make sure you use the same domain name on both computers. default is MSHOME

Is your problem you have a wireless ISP? And you want to connect another computer through a gateway through the computer that is connected directly to the internet?

If that is the case I have tried that for hours and hours, it works and stops working in odd bursts, I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. I looked for more info on setting it up that way, and I just couldn't get it working. Then after talking to other people, gave up due to the fact they said windows REALLY doesn't like to share a wireless connection.

Then as already has been said, go to control panel, and go through the wireless network setup procedure, once done, all 3 should find and identify each other, from there you can set preferences such as file/internet connection sharing, encryption/passwords etc. Call the network a common name on your router config such as your surname as was said, the default is always MS Home, I didnt look at your specs to see what Windows OS you are using, anything XP.....SP2 makes it simple.

Mine works fine and never fails but I have had similar problems to you in the past, part of the problem some have is that for a wireless ADSL Router (mine is 3COM) they try the wireless setup wizard in windows first, in my experience use the software first on the master pc that comes with the router to setup the network and internet access (only if its internet connection sharing that is wanted) then on the slaves use the Windows Wireless connection wizard to setup/identify the network, if for example you are using a USB wireless device in PC number 2 that came with ther main router you should not go anywhere near Windows wireless setup wizard unless you want more than just internet cnnection sharing.
