Wireless network problem

I recently set up a wireless network at home for our desktop and laptop. All went well and after a little messing around it just worked.

The other day I installed a printer on the desktop and decided to share it so I could print from the laptop. The only way i could see to do this was run the network wizard or something like that. I believe the printer is now shared.

BUT now I can't connect to the internet on the desktop, it keeps bringing up the connection box with details of the old USB modem in there, no mention of connecting through the wireless network.

I've looked but can't find where I set it up to connect through the network, can anyone help me?

Cheers,





Graham
