The easiest route her I would think is to add a USB PCI card and get one of the USB adapters. Unless the adapter is capable of USB 2.0, the 802.11g would be wasted on the 12MBs USB bus. As for it being wasted on a S900, I dont' think so, even a stock S900 can pretty much saturate a 100MBs line without much trouble.
There are PCI adapters, but they usually limit you to a built-in antenna that you can't place anywhere. Seeing as you will be 300ft away, antenna placement will probably become rather important. Besides, those are quasi-hard to find and would cost about the same. at least with the first option you can take advantage of all the new USB peripherals available as well as a decent network connection. A word to the wise though, make sure you enable WEP and change the pass on your access point/router. Last week I troubleshooted a network just to find out that the main problem they were having was that the computer was inadvertently connected to their next door neighbors Wi-Fi network. Authentication is built into these things for a reason people! -Robyn On Tuesday, January 28, 2003, at 05:12 PM, FA wrote: > Again I turn to the many experts on this list.
