i have Broadband.
I have two VAIO Laptops (new).
I have one VAIO desktop (NICE ONE) hooked to TV.
I have a program called ACT2005 that I need both laptops to be able to enter information equally on the same database.
I have main broadband going to the desktop. I have Linksys getting me the broadband wireless to the two laptops around the house.
I guess I need to set up a home networking system, load the ACT2005 program on the desktop so that the two laptops can equally access the database, no?
SO WHAT DO I DO? any good resources for finding out how to do this?

is the linksys at the edge of your network?
if so, make sure all of your clients (2 laptops and 1 desktop) are on the same subnet (ie 192.168.0.X, 10.0.0.x, or whatever private subnet you like) and that if they (especially the desktop) have a firewall you set it up to allow incoming connections on whatever port(s) the ACT2005 program listens for connections.
this is all assuming the ACT2005 suite can act as a server to networked clients.

true. their installers/cust svc is awesome. plus the voice on fiber is so crystal clear now.
Video service is being released in the Fall and with that I would imagine current prices will go down.
