Default AKK! WiFI! Help!

Okay, boss man is trying to get me to do some WiFi jobs. The problem is that I have never done WiFi before.
I managed to BS my way out of last night.
And this afternoon, i am busy with another client.

But there is only so long that i can avoid this.

Pretty much every thing has been wired networks via TCP/IP.

Can some one point me into the direction of some WiFi For Novices Sites so I can teach myself the following :-
* Setting up a WiFi Network
* Trouble Shooting WiFi Networks.

Most of the networks that I am dealing with are your home / soho enviroments where they are normally doing internet sharing via a router.

OS is most of the time Windows Xp/2k/Me/98se

Any suggestions for some crash course sites that that I can understand the basics would be helpful

I some experience with WiFi, most of it is breaking into them. Just kidding, I couldnt break into a barn with no doors. But I do have some experience with smaller WiFi network jobs. Feel free to ask.
