    Wireless LAN for my Laptop

    Locked

    by wait4u63 · about 25 years ago

    I am running Ethernet network at my home which hooked up to DSL Lynksis modem.
    I have 1 NT server and 2 workstations Win98SE which we share internet connection through DSL modem.
    Currently I got laptop which I’d like to connect it to my existing LAN using wireless connection, so I can browse/reply mail from my laptop inside the house. Does anybody know or have experience with this configuration ??
    I call IBM Anypoint they said it is not possible to combine those 2 different standard. Thanks

      IBM is right. The problem is just like 10baseT can’t communicate with 100baseT (unless the nic auto-adjusts tiself down to 10). What the wireless used is something completely different.

      If you want to go wireless, you’re probobly looing at doing the entire network to be wireless.
