D.K.
The situation:
Thw computers:
A rather old Celeron/Win98 desktop that is connected to cable
and does not have wireless card.
A new PentiumM/WinXP laptop with wireless capability that came
with an access point (it was one of those free offers).
I thought it is easy to connect the access point so that
I and my wife/kid could share the cable Internet connection.
That is, without making the desktop wireless.
Such a possibility, however, is not mentioned in the access
point's installation guide and I cannot find any pointers.
Is it at all possible? If yes, then where should I look
for the basic instructions?
We do not necessarily need a real netwrok between the two
computers and I'd rather not buy a wireless card for the old
desktop.
Any clue for the clueless? Thanks!
