-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I currently have 2 PC's and 1 laptop which at present are linked to my router / hub. The laptop (dell mini 10v), has wireless, which I would like to use elsewhere in the house for web / e-mail etc. I don't want to go down the wireless route just yet, so therefore want to keep my current wired (draytek) router. However If I buy a Wireless card adn install this in my main desktop PC, can I set it up so the mini 10 can access this wirelessly, and connect to the network, using the PC as some sort of bridge thing. I am not very good with what terminology to use, here, so hope that I have got the idea across as to what I want to do. Any ideas if this is possible ? Eventually I guess I can go wireless, however given distance between router and main PC is < 1 meter, its hardly worth having a wireless link that short distance, I take it wireless routers can also handle normal wired networks for shorter distances.
