Wireless Network

[Scott]

I just bought the MS wireless desktop kit. can I utilize
the ICS with XP pro that I use with my wired network with
the wirless base station?

More in depth PC1 = My XP pro
pc2 Laptop
pc3 Other desktop

the laptop doesn't need to be wirelessly networked, I've
got it wired (battery life prevents it from going off the
plug for more that 2 mins ... don't ask) the other pc3 is
going to be up stairs and I need it wirelessly connected.
(I don't want to run all the RJ45 cables through my nice
new houses walls((new house but not new enought to have
planned for home networking)))

can I have pc1 directly connected to the internet then
through the second nic card put the connection into the
wireless base station wire the laptop to that and
wirelessly connect the pc3 upstairs?

if yes just say yes.

thanks

Scott.

Never actually tried to do it. but judging the situation
from its technical merits:

Yes.

you probably can get this to work, although if you have a broadband
connection, you should use the base station as a router.
