Right, but my assumption is that the issue is that the firmware or driver isn't written to provide that functionality. Or maybe it's a combination of hardware and software required for the various modes? Most likely, I have no idea what I'm talking about and haven't slept enough to realize that I'm babbling? heh heh :-) Who knows... perhaps I don't need AP mode, and Ad-Hoc mode will work? The desired end result is to have a few clients connect to the server (which has the card in question) so that the server can stream video to the clients. OK, I just found the following at the D-link site... http://www.dlink.com.au/tech/faq/wireless/Wireless_FAQ_General.htm ---------------------- What is an Access Point? An access point is a bridging device for connecting a wired and wireless network together. Access points are typically wireless routers or stand-alone devices that plug into an Ethernet hub, switch, or router. What is Ad-hoc mode? Set of 802.11b wireless stations that communicate directly with one another without using an access point or any connection to a wired network. --------------------- So, for this particular project, I should be able to get by with Ad-Hoc mode and one of the machines setup as a DHCP server... right? Thanks for asking, Andy... I just learned something that I should have figured out before asking my original question.
