Wireless network question
 

At home i'm running Dsl internet through a wired router (linksys befsr41)
Two computers connect via the router's rj45 socket for the internet access.
one upstairs one downstairs -What i would like to know though, is if i
remove
the ethernet card from the upstairs pc and replace with a wireless g card
Install a wireless g card into the pc downstairs, (leaving the current
ethernet card inplace)
Would it still be possible for the pc upstairs to connect to the router for
internet access.

Unfortunately my router doesn't have wireless built in so i'm a little
stuck.

Someone mensioned you would have to bridge the ethernet connection and
wireless
connection downstairs together for this to work.
But how is this done if this is right.


Thanks for any help

With the proper software settings and if your house doesn't block the
signal too much this should be possible.

You could replace it with one that does.

Well, with modern windows you could do it with internet connection
sharing.

You can get a WAP (Wireless Access Point) and plug it into the router and
go on about your business.

You don't need ICS, because the router you have is supposed to be the
gateway device for the LAN and WAN and will allow the machines to share
resources, even the ones that are connected to the WAP.

Your may want to look into the wireless security of the home network,
using Google.

If you route between the 2 interfaces yes, however the 1 PC with the
wired / wireless connection would need to be on all the time.

In that case if you have a free port on the BEFSR41, plug in a Wireless
Access Point, like

Yes, but it can be messy.

>But how is this done if this is right.

For Win NT, simply click the routing box in TCPIP properties, requires 2
network connections.

For Win 2000, Start / Help same for XP.

If you are dead set on using wireless, just get yourself a wireless access
point and plug it into your current router. Usually cheaper anyway.
