Especially important in my case! > > Chester (aka Mr. Clutter) Since you all are giving a primer in wireless (and wired) newtorking and I am less-than-novice grade, please help me a little more on these issues, like: - If I buy a wireless PCI expansion card for a desktop and a wireless PCMCIA card for my L100CT, will that be sufficient to "do wireless", or will I still need some of the other equipment mentioned? - Is it even thinkable to invest in wireless networking for internet access if one is using dial-up service, or is the bandwidth choked off too much for reasonable speed? - What sort of range can be expected, and what degree of obstruction (walls, floors, etc.) is tolerated?
