Hi!
I AM VERY CONFUSED.
I am hoping to buy an Apple iBook with Wi-fi,
Ethernet, USB etc, and was considering creating a
network so i could use the the internet on the
iBook wirelessly as well as with our Dell Windows
2000 PC (unfortunately it does not have an
Ethernet Port). We already have a 1mb modem for
our single Broadband connection.
After looking at many options i am now very
confused. I was hoping to also buy a USB wi-fi
radio pen thingy to connect the PC to the
network because it is not otherwise wireless.
I need to make a network in some way that is
compatible with both Mac and Windows so the
internet can be accessed on both through Wi-fi, and
I want to do this as cheaply as possible.
What should I do? Should I have a Peer-to-Peer
network, bearing in mind the fact that the laptop
would be moved about quite a lot, or use a
base station? What products can be recommended?
Alternatively, is there a product which can be
plugged into the phoneline to turn it into wireless
for the laptop to use the internet only when
needed, and then the normal phoneline plugged back
in when the PC needs the internet?(if you get
what i mean!)
PLEASE HELP ME I AM VERY CONFUSED!
Thankyou in advance!
