Call the Geek Squad (is that Circuit City by you?) and talk them into coming out to the Womens' Center and fixing the network as a public (ie, tax deductible) service? My Vista laptop connected to the wireless network hardwired into the XP desktop just fine - by accident, I'm sure. I did it through the network setup process involving copying the network settings onto a removable drive and then moving them onto the laptop that way. Neither one "sees" the contents of the drives on the other, however.
