Hi Sandy, Right idea, wrong port. This card requires a Cardbus type II slot typically found on a laptop, not on a desktop computer. Something along these lines--and this is _not_ a recommendation, since I have not used this particular product--connected to the ethernet port would be more appropriate: <http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/detail.asp?dpno=354481> I have done this with access points/routers sold by LinkSys, NetGear, and even [shudder] Microsoft, with no compatibility problems. These all have a micro HTTP server embedded so all the setup can be done with a web browser. RTM and think carefully about the WEP code ;-) There are also PCI and USB variations listed at the same vendor, if you dare. HTH, paul -- Paul F.
