Good stuff, Bruce. I was thinking about getting a wireless router for my apartment, between my roomate and I, we have like 5 PCs including my work laptop (which has builtin wireless a&b I think)... We have a wired network now that works fine.
I'm not really too concerned with the speed of the wireless, I don't plan on doing a whole lot of file transfers, if I needed to, I could plug into the switch. A or B would be a lot faster than your cable modem could ever do, but G is also a good option.

161.00 out the door, and free shipping ..
The pc card came in the mail on friday , which is pretty damn quick if you look at my original post, which was on the day that I ordered it.
I am just waiting for the base to get here ..
I currently have a d-link router.. anyone want it ..
anyway I was having problems trying to set up my dlink cabeled router so my computers could network . I can't seem to get the two computers to Link together .. I don't know why

well the problem I am having is that , when using the network setup wizard in xp . I can't get the 2 computers to see each other. I want the main cpu to be the main computer and the notebook to be like a user and be able to get files and so forth.
I don't know if I need a HUB or what , because right now I only have a D-Link Router for the cable modem. So I am wondering if that is the problem. The wireless will be taking the place of the Router , but I am not sure if I will still have the same problems.

I have a home network set up now using the d-link phoneline internet to share internet and stuff, I also have my xbox hooked into the network through ethernet card.
Works really good now but were going to be gettin a new laptop and another computer so well be picking up a wireless router by the end of the day costco is offering the dlink 614+ with a notebook card for like $90 after mail in rebate and i think compusa is offering it even cheaper.

the router info page, it should show you all connected devices
and their names. You just then map to that device. Also you will
need to enable sharing and setup to let someone log in and use
a shared part of your system or the whole thing.
Personally I don't like the DLink products. Also for someone with
just a cable modem the G doesn't make any difference in internet
connectivity, since the cable modem is the bottleneck. If you don't play
lots of head to head games or transfer a LOT of data between
your home computers then the 802.11b is the most cost effective
wireless solution. The RANGE on the 802.11b in a home environment is greater than the higher frequency G stuff.

But I will try what you said with IP addresses . I am hoping I can get it to work . I mainly wanted the wireless router for when I am outside. downstairs or next door..
