So then, are you using a router to accomplish all this or is it an ad-hoc peer to peer network? I was wondering why do you need a wired AND a wireless card if you have network connectivity using the wired network? - Todd From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I stream media from two computers, and the wireless is too slow to do so...

Maybe you have a legitimate reason, but at this juncture, I don't see it. Why not disable the wireless (in all profiles) in the two PC's with wired cards?

I've been recommended to create a network bridge, so I'll try that tonight, however, I've no idea how to do that in W2K. So, my questions... 1. How do I create a network bridge in W2K? 2. Why does the wired network card appear to take over internet requests? 3. Any ideas how to improve my network? 4. Have I given way too much info here? -- The problem is you have everything on the same network. Tasks will be executed using the quickest path possible. That means the Ethernet cards for things between D and E. Based on your description it doesn't sound as if these cards have access to the internet and that you want it that way. If D and E are connected via hub (they have to be connected somehow since they cannot use the wireless station), just change the ip addresses to a different private network space, probably 192.168.x.x. That will get the Ethernet off the wireless network addressing scheme. Then you'll connect to the internet through wireless since it will be the only network which has such access. You'll also have what amounts to a dedicated link between D and E for transferring the video. In this case, two card types, two networks. You can have mixed wireless and wired networks. It just requires more hardware to fit the pieces together. Bridges are far more expensive than hubs and harder to maintain as well. If you just want internet access and fast transfer between the two machines, separate networks will work best and far more cheaply. drew The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Send Your Posts To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To set a personal password send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the words: "set WDVLTALK pw=yourpassword" in the body of the email.
