Wireless -> Wired Networking Question
This is a discussion about Wireless -> Wired Networking Question in the Windows Networking category; Looking for any info on introducing a wireless networking product, like Homefree by Diamond, into an exisiting Cat5 network. I have 5 machines (3 Win2000 and 2 Win98) running on a 8 port hub. Also have a ISDN router, also plugged into the hub) supplying internet access to then entire office.

What I think is possible.... Buy the homefree combo pack (1 pci and 1 pcmcia), add the pci into one of my existing networked machines (probably a win2000) then somehow get that machine to bridge the two networks (wired and wireless) together. Idealy, I would like to have access to files, internet and printing from my laptop running the wireless connection.
Any takers on advice???
If so, please reply to me directly, vp@harmonycreek.com
