Hello.
I hope somebody can help me with this subject.

My pc is connected to the internet by an usb-modem, which has wireless
connection to my internetprovider.

This pc with the internetconnection shares it with 2 other pc's
connected by ordinary net-cabel and a 5 ports skancom switch.

This is working pretty well.

Now I have bought a notebook (without any wireless card but a connector
for net-cable)
I would like to connect my notebook to the pc with internetconnection
so I also can use the notebook on the internet.
But not by a cable - there must be some solution with wireless, a card
or usb-adapter.

I will be very thankfull if somebody can give my advices about what to do.

best regards from
Erling Simonsen,
Herning, Denmark.

Hello.
Have got a solution.
I bought a wireless Lan Router 54 Mbps and replaced it instead my
Skancom switch - and also bought a wireless Lan usb 2.0 stick - 54 Mbps.
So now it is working very well.

You need a wireless access point to connect to your network switch, and a
cardbus card for your notebook.

A cardbus card is more conveinient than a usb device.

OK, I was at the dealers store today and asked for changing the
usb-stick to a cardbus card, but they told me that the stick was more
convenient than the cardbus card, so it maybe a bad advice from them?

Its up to you. The usb device is proably on a cable where the cardbus card would
be internal.
