I would like to use the _ad_hoc_ mode to
operate a wireless mini-network at my
office so that a second notebook can be
connected with mine allowing both
notebooks to use -- and update -- the
same schedule, spreadsheet, database,
etc.

The first problem is simply networking
the two laptops, a T30 with a Cisco
Aironet 350 card and a T43p with a built-
in Intel 2915abg.

I haven't yet tried to use the T43
wireless capability. I will begin with
it.

But, I did not yet have time to fully
develop (ha!) my understanding of TCP/IP.
So, that will also need to be a priority.

Thoughts, please. How should I organize
the process of setting this up?

Thank you in advance!

My recomendation would to be to install a "black box" access point - e.g from DLINK, Linksys, etc. All systems connected to the same AP should be able to be configured to share files.

Hello Ed:

How about a Belkin F5D7230-4 Wireless Router?
I've never succeeded in using it for anything.
Maybe this is where I will finally get started
with it.  Are you suggesting that once I get it
configured I could just leave it plugged into
the wall and simply connect both notebooks to
it wirelessly any time I'm in the office?  I
suppose I could also connect it to the aDSL
modem.  However, I'm concerned about security
to a fair degree.  Now that I think about it,
I believe the modem may have more than one
wired output (a simple switch?).  I'll have to
look at it tomorrow.  Am I on the right track?

Thank You,

- Mark
