Wireless Networking

[Mcploppy ©]

Hi all,

I have 3 PC's, 2 are in the same room, they are connected together using an
Ethernet hub, 1 machine has a Broadband USB modem, this connection is
shared. The 3rd PC is in another room., and is not connected (yet) to either
machine.

I would like to wireless network the machine with ICS enabled to the 3rd
machine.

Can this be succesfully achieved with a Wireless PCI Adaptor in the machine
with ICS and the 3rd machine.

If so would this card (

TIA

In ad-hoc mode (card to card without a WAP) you will be able to
connect computer #1 (the computer with ICS) and computer #3. You will
be able to provide internet connectivity easily to computer #3.

File sharing between computer #2 (the computer without ICS) and
computer 3 (the computer in the other room) will not be as simple
unfortunately. You'll have to manually setup static routes in
computers #2 and #3 so they can communicate with each other, if you so
desire.

And as always remember that 802.11b networks are not secure, so don't
keep any important secrets on any one of the 3 computers.

Cheers,
