Hi All, (again)
Thanks for the answers to the thread related to networking via the mains. I have now ordered broadband from BT and await my free modem et al.
However I now look to setup a wireless network with the two desktops and the lappy sharing the broadband connection via a combined router and modem.
So my question is basically if I have an 802.11g PCI wireless card in both PC's, and the 802.11b WiFi card in the Lappy. Am I OK to just connect a Belkin combined router/modem midway between the two on the first house bound socket with the filter on that inlet.
I am totally new to networking and have read so many threads about problems caused by wireless problems that I expect my life to go seriously chest up in the next few weeks.
If all I can do is get mutual internet connection then that will do, but it would be nice to set up a sharing network aswell. I am running WinXP home on all machines with SP2 installed.
I note that SP2 gives network and WiFi set up wizards in control panel, is it worth me using these?
Yours, frightened of new technology boundaries, BB
