pn] Thanks Ray, Lynn and Todd for your replies! pn] Yes, what I want is simply an access point for my notebook PC. Not just to be more mobile in the house, but one of the few irritants with my notebook is that the NIC connector on the left side near the front. What a PITA.
pn] Todd, you mentioned you did this with a D-Link model. The Linksys has a WAN port, 4 LAN ports and an uplink port (shares port 4). Is this similar to yours? Are you saying that I can just connect my current laptop connector into one of the LAN ports and it will act as a hub with wireless access? I didn't see any notes about this in the users guide. pn] One last concern (paranoia) of mine is (of course) security. I want to be reasonably certain no one else can connect (I'm in an apartment-style condo) to this "access point" or monitor the wireless traffic. A separate subnet that can't get to my internal network would make the connection effectively useless for me too. pn] I'm not as concerned about a slight price difference. Is anyone here using the D-Link DLINK XTREME G WIRELESS ACCESS POINT 11G DWL2000AP with the DLINK XTREME G WIRELESS ACCESS POINT 11G DWL2000AP? Do you trust the security provided by it? pn] TIA for feedback. --- Peter Nosko ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
