[Slava]

Hey guys, I have a q about this issue im having. I posted this on teh OT board, but I doubnt ill get much of a response over here and I know you guys got my back so i'll copy/paste it here.

----

this may sound stupid, but..

I have a desktop cpu that is connected to broadband internet through a modem. I am gonna buy a wireless router and a network card for a laptop, but have a question on how everything will connect.

Would it be possible to keep the desktop PC connected to the modem I have now (so I wont have to buy a wireless card for it), and have wireless internet throughout the house with the router and the card for the laptop? Or will it be required to buy two cards (one for the laptop and one for the pc)?

btw, does this cpu need a wireless card to connect online? Just the router? Sorry I dont know anything about this. lol

Thanks in advanced for the help.

Kno, if its an ethernet modem that you have right now, you can keep the desktop connected to it and then have a wireless router connected along with it to preovide WI-FI for your laptop, provided your laptop has an inbuilt wireless adapter. Or else you'll have to buy one similar to this.



you can also go the other way around and buy wireless cards for both your desktop and laptop so that both of them receive internet through the router.

I'd recommend getting a router and keep your PC connected to the ethernet LAN that you have right now and connect your laptop with wireless.

He should be shortly before American drivers are declared legally insane.

Miles my man.

I know you live in Teaneck.

I know it's like one year early for me to think about colleges (well not really, senior next year, might as well start thinking about it now. and all, but how is Fairleigh Dickinson?

Im looking at affordable D1 track schools with a nice social life. You already know Im from the suburbs of NYC and I dont want to leave this type of place. Is Teaneck suitable for that?

I actually live in the next town over, and I don't go there too often, so I can't say too much about it. For a North Jersey suburb, it's pretty busy. Not the quiet kind of town you see in Garden State, I don't think that's Teaneck.

I'm going to visit FDU for the first time in a few days to pick up some books at their library, so I'll give you a better idea in a couple days. I could also ask some people who I know go there.

Anyways, Teaneck is like 30 minutes by bus from Port Authority, so if you miss NYC, it's just a stone's throw away.

If I see some pretty girls at FDU I will take pictures of them and run away and post them for you on the inter-net.

Well - just got layed off today. Weird. Worked for this company for almost 5 years but have to say it feels like it was for the best.

I've been feeling like it was time for a change for some time. Now there's no question about it.

Now it's on to bigger and better things, my friend.

[milesfides]

Holy crap, it's supposed to be 97 degrees and humid today. What the hell? How is it that ever since I moved to New Jersey we've always been near record highs and never averages? What's the point in having averages if we're living in the new global warming era?

Ironically, I just finished this movie called "The Last Winter" because it has Ron Pearlman and the cover looked decent. It's supposed to be scary. It's not. It's the most heavy-handed propaganda for global warming I've ever seen. It didn't have time to be scary, because every opportunity, some character goes off on a five-minute monologue on some global warming issue. The scary part is supposed to be that there are ghosts in the oil, which makes as much sense as it sounds. At first it comes off as madness or psychological, then you see actual buffalo ghosts knocking planes into cabins to maim people.

An Inconvenient Truth was much scarier and entertaining.

Zen-what town are you in?

I'm in Culver City in West Los Angeles right by Sony studios CC. Do you know any companies looking for hires in LA?

Haha thanks for the insight bro.

I want that D1 track scholarship via academic achievements due to the fact I have a 92 average. But then, I also think about the fact that Im not really looking to pursue a career in track as I would for Business/Administrations so FDU as well as St. Francis suit the bill. And obviously, the campus life.

If Im more serious with my education, then Ill go the Ivy League route and choose NYU, but I still have a good 6 months to choose. We'll see what 6 months tells me.

Besides, like you said, NYC is 8 tracks on my mp3 player away if I wanna come back home haha.

Oh hell yea man, me and the boys (and girls) were planning on hitting up the beach now they are all being lazy asses and couch potatoes burning up in their house when we could have been playing some beach volleyball.

I know it's much better in LA !
My relative is in Fresno. She's studying here... She's helping me to get used here...

LA its like 190 miles from Fresno, I suppose. You know, I'm feeling fine even if I had to move 10 hours backwards !

I'll drop in LA later... I can't miss the chance to meet you all !

I've got no more than three months to stay here... ... but I'll figure it out what I can do to remain in California.

I need money.

Thank you. You seem pretty knowledgeable with this Jfar.

Im pretty sure imma do what you ended your post with (bold). Imma go out and get a router tomorrow.

BTW, would you know if this laptop has a *BUILT IN* wireless card? Its the one I won at school and I dunno if the card is built in or if it would come with the laptop packaging (in which case, I would need to buy one since the laptop is used).

Its an HP Compaq nc8000.

Kno, that right there indicates that your laptop is wireless compatible and the other thing I indicated are the wireless protocols that it supports. Most routers support them but just in case, check that the router you buy supports those protocols.
