Vista - Network (Need Answers)

I had a computer I gave my son and I bought a new one. Idon't know a lot about networking but I researched and believe I learn how to set up a simple home network. All I wanted to be able to do is be able to use my computer and access the other one when I needed. I believe that I have it set up properly however I have had very few reasons to access the old one that my son has. I had a cd on the old one (that he uses) that I was trying to download to mine. I'm still haven't figured out how to do it but, That isn't my main concern right now. I clicked the start orb then network and it shows a 3rd computer on my network, I don't have but 2 computers. Anybody know whats up with that, what I should do about it and how that could have happened in the first place. Is someone else tied in to my home network? Please Help Thank You

How do you connect to the Internet, do you have a router, if so that could be the third one showing.
If you do use a router and you haven't got encryptment set up it could be that someone else is connecting to your network but until you tell us your set up we can't really say for sure.
Tell us exactly how you set up your network and someone should be able to help you

Yes I do have a router and I am hooked up wired (ethernet cable).



My name is Marshall so My old computer is Marshall-pc and my new one is Marshall. I don't know who or what MARQUI-PC is.

BY the way thank you for responding Joan.

Does MARQUI-PC open to anything.

No it doesn't open to anything. Thank you for responding. I might be able to simply delete this but I thought I would spend a day or two investigating this issue first.

Since it doesn't open to anything it might be a ghost connection.

Dear MANSRM81 I've only tried to open it once. I wonder will it open some other time? Thanks

You must be online now right?

What do you recomend that I do?
