This is actually a relatively easy thing to do nowadays. The prices for wireless equipment has been dropping and becoming a more realistic and reliable technology. Depending on what way you want to go, there are several options, you can get a wireless access point and connect it to your XP machine and then get a wireless card for the laptop, or you could get a wireless card for both and just run an ad-hoc network. Best thing to do is to shop around for the wireless equipment and make the decision based on your needs for functionality and possibility for future expansion i.e. if you want to add more computers at a later date, the access point would be the best choice as it allows you to expand to more wireless devices more easily. Hope this helps. - Marc

I could use the VNC to access my files from the PC but I do not want the hassle with the installation of cables etc, etc. Is it possible to have an inexpensive wireless connection? I am not familair in this field so would appreciate advice on hardware and software requirements and if possible approx cost. Have a great New Year!
