![]() I'm planning on setting-up a wireless network using only two wireless network cards (no router or wireless modem) using my existing BT Broadband set-up (USB modem, Windows XP). Can anyone tell me if this is difficult to do? What configuration do I need to do? Cheers. Bobby |

Can anyone tell me if this is difficult to do? What configuration do I need to do? Its quite simple. Make sure the 2 cards are using the same channel, Network Name(SSID) and they are set to Ad-Hoc mode not Infrastructure. Probably better to try it with no encryption first, to check its working and then enable security etc Regards Sunil |

Try using ones of the same make Differnet makes should, in theory work with each other, sometimes they do not want to play ball. |

![]() tis easy. they connect ad-hoc. then you use ICS. thing is, you need to connect the gateway to the slave pc every time you boot it, and by default its dhcp so you end up repairing the connection on the slave every time you boot that one.
