"charge me 25 per month"?<br><br>Don't do it!<br><br><br>Unless you mean, wireless internet, which may be a good deal for 25 per month.<br><br>If you mean just setting up a wireless network, having a monthly fee is probably not good.<br> <p><br><img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left><br><left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a><br><a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a><br>Have a Nice Day!<br><br>"Politics, war, martial arts;<br>these are tools to bend the <br>universe to your will."</left><br><br><br><p><i>Edited by: <a href=http://pub3.ezboard.com/uxmengambit.sho ... ge=EN>XMEN Gambit</a> <img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/images/x.gif> at: 7/14/02 8:16:26 pm</i></p></p><i></i>

Wireless networking is no big deal. It's not too much different from ethernet, just different Hardware, and some saecurity stuff to deal with. I bet if you ask one of your instructors Nex, they can point you in the right direction. <p><!--EZCODE CENTER START--><div style="text-align:center"><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;font-family:arial;font-size:xx-large;"><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>I HATE EZBOARD!!!</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--></span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></div><!--EZCODE CENTER END--></p><i></i>

If you mean wireless internet, that's a pretty good deal. I'd let him do it, assuming the service is any good. <br><br>If you mean getting your computer A to talk to your computer B via radio, what the heck is the monthly charge for? Forget it. To do that, you buy a wireless access point and as many matching cards as you need, plug them in, and go. But as Hat said you'll want to lock it up tight so everyone within 300 feet or so doesn't have free access to your stuff. The procedure will vary depending on your equipment, but I'd recommend getting the same brand and from the same store. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.xmenclan.org/xmengambit.gif"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>XMEN member<br>Card-carrying DTM<br>OKL Fish-napper<br><br>Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to be maintained.<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em> The Tao of Programming</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>
