Is it at all possible? Hi, Hakan. usually a parabolic reflector is used at the AP, and a directional antenna is used at the client side (such as a cantenna). Anyway, you might want to check out the following couple of links: http://www.freeantennas.com/projects/template/ http://www.binarywolf.com/249/parabolic.htm (The latter would be a bit unwieldy for a notebook computer!!!) :) HTH PS - Only experience I've had is with the first link. I did this for a client in Virginia, and it did indeed get enough shape to the signal that I was able to overcome an abstacle in the middle of the path (a refrigerator/freezer). -- Lewis --------------------------------- Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLE, CLP Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia http://www.2rosenthals.com ---------------------------------
