Parent's just got a laptop. I tried setting it up for wireless, but I can't for the life of me figure it out.

Components involved:

Laptop w/ Win7
PC #1 with Win7
PC #2 with XP
Belkin Router

PC #1 and #2 would be fine. When the laptop connected, everything went down. I messed around with router settings and I give up.

What needs to be static?

What needs to be dynamic?

What range should my IP Pool in my router settings be?

Should DCHP be enabled?

What else needs to be disabled/enabled?

Thanks for reading.
