Connecting a network is a straight forward easy process if you follow some simple rules.
1) use an address that will not conflict with internet address (IE 192.168.*.*)
2) make sure you SHARE the recources you are wanting to access
3) map the recources to the other machines in the network.
ok so I have a home network with a xp box on a wireless connected to a printer
the printer will take the address of the xp box. lets say your router has an address of 192.168.2.1, your xp box is 192.168.2.2 and your windows 7 box is 192.168.2.3 to use the xp box's printer I would simply make sure I have file and print sharing turned on the xp box and then open the printer interface and click on the printer you want to share,, then click SHARE,,, now in the win7 box open up network neighborhood and click on the xp box printer and install it, done it will now function as a printer for the win7 box.
this is assuming your router and your boxes are setup for DHCP,,, if not,, well call a computer store and ask a tech, they should not charge much to help you setup ,, good luck

If the printer is not network-capable, you will need to set up file and print sharing on one of the computers.
