Networking Linux and XP

[ABD Computer Installations]

Dude,
your first and foremost dilemma is to get Linux speaking to some
wireless gear.
You could always try the NDISWRAPPER alternative using your existing
equipment, or better still try to locate in your area some vendor that
provides linux compatible Wifi cards.

Once connected to the router you will need to set up SAMBA to get the
two OS'es talking - then you can make shares and configure printing etc
etc.

cheers
enjoy
