Hi,
Question 1
I would like to create a wireless network and share my Broadband connection.
At present i have a PC and a laptop which are NOT networked but i would like to network them and share my Broadband connection & files.
At present my broadband is connected to the PC’s PCI ethernet card and I receive an IP address via DHCP…..
To achieve my aim I have purchased a wireless Linksys 2,4GHz router model no. WRT54GS and also two compatible wireless cards.
(1 wireless PCI card for the PC the other wireless PCMCIA card for the laptop).
I am currently online with Blueyonder broadband in the UK and would like to know how to configure both my Windows XP laptop and windows XP PC to use my wireless router.
Are there any pages which explain using simple step by step instructions/diagrams of where my Router should go in relation to my modem etc.
I am used to setting up wred networks using 192.168.0.1 for PC 1 & 192.168.0.2 for PC2 setting in same wrkgroup does this still need to be carried out with wireless?
Question 2
I setup and installed a wireless access point in my previous workplace and if i recollect all i did was plug the wireless access point into a switch on my works network and had a wirless card in the pc and configured via a web browser….But my question here is would that have been posible without a wireless card in the server i can’t remember if i put one in the server?
Any help/assistance in any of these points greatly appreciated
