Computer Magazine Online

I need to know how to set up a home network that will allow me to share files between all of the computers, share my two printers, and hopefully accomplish a few other media sharing things as well. Currently all of the PCs use wireless internet to connect to the internet, but not all of them discover eachother. I think that I just need to reset the network settings and configure a few things. I have a router, and wireless cards in all of my computers, the computers are as follows.
- one pc running windows 7 (this is the computer I would like to set it up on, I want it to be the main computer)
-two pcs running windows XP
-and one PC running windows vista home premium
Any ideas? Links to tutorials would be awesome!

1. Would this computer properly run World of Wacraft and Starcraft 2 with full settings?
2. Do I need to buy a power chord or does it already come with one?

My nephew is in the Army, and he wanted me to find him a laptop computer, but I don’t understand how the wireless thing works. Some laptops come with wireless cards and some don’t. I’m lost when it comes to laptops and what they need to work in the wireless capacity. Can someone please explain the wireless card thing to me and how it works? Thank you
