Basically, what I'm trying to do, is to use a wireless router to
do what I would normally do with a wireless pci card. I have no problem
getting the wired ethernet card to work, it's a wireless card I can't
get to work. It's the same problem with all the wireless cards I've
tried, drivers. The router on the other hand doesn't need a driver.
My DSL connection is upstairs in the office where I have a
wireless/wired router connected to the modem. The two machines in the
office use two of the wired ports in the router. The machine that is
located downstairs in the den is the one that I'm trying to get a
wireless internet connection to work on. Since I couldn't get a wireless
card to work, I thought I'd try using a wireless router instead.
What I was trying to find out is if I was going to have to go
inside the router(not physically) and set up certian parameters so that
it will communicate properly with the router that is upstairs?
I thought I made what I was trying to do pretty clear the first
time, but you wanted more info, so here it is.
Thanks
Jim
