Sunbird, I reran the Network Wizard and I lost my connection icon on my laptop. I think the problem may lie in proxy settings, but I'm not sure. I can share folders fine. Just can't share internet. Thanks, Randy

Hi, Sorry, I hit the wrong key earlier. I've got a Uniden 2004 access point and a uniden wireless card in my laptop. I can ping the notebook from the desktop and get a response. However, when I ping the desktop from the laptop, I get "Request timed out." This is driving me crazy. Here are...

I just bought a Uniden WNP1000 Access Point and Uniden PCW300 PCMCIA Card from Outpost.com. With rebates, I paid ~$10 for both. I was wondering if anyone is using this equipment and if so, does it work good. I think this is a great buy for wireless "b" stuff. Here are the links... pccard...

Is anyone using ad hoc (peer to peer) wireless networking? I need to setup a simple wireless network with a desktop and lappy and would like it to be simple and cheap. Any ideas? Thanks, Randy

Buy.com has DI614+ on sale for $19.99 after rebate here. dlink If I knew for sure this will work with a dialup connection, I would be all over this. Can anyone verify that this will work as an access point without requiring broadband? Thanks, Randy

A wireless access point still connects to a computer with a cat 5 cable right? Can I use a Netgear MR814 as an access point with dialup internet? Randy

Is there a wireless access point that has a jack to accept a serial modem? Would this work as my dialup connection? This has been a most informative discussion! Randy

Thanks for the info. So, I need an access point to connect to built in nic on desktop and a pc card for the lappy, and I should be good to go. Any specific setup that someone could recommend? Randy
