I think you have the hard part done. I am assuming that you already have your wireless NIC installed and working. > The email I saw was almost a step-by-step how-to for dummies like me. > I'm so sorry I cannot find it now. Not a step by step but here is what is needed. You need a DHCP server. I used the one that is shipped on the eCS CD. There are a few DHCP servers that are available and much easier to set up than the one I use. In the "System Setup" -> "Network" -> "TCP/IP" -> "TCP/IP Configuration (local)" If you use your wireless on the road getting it parameters from DHCP you need to change it to a fixed IP address such as 192.168.1.1. You should already have a "default route" on the "Routing Page" tab set to your ISPs router, if not you need to add one. Near the bottom of the page is a check box labeled "IP Forwarding", check it. Either connect to the internet with your wired NIC or your Verizon NIC . After that another computer can connect to your computer through the wireless NIC and get to the internet. At the SCOUG demo I had my laptop and connected although I was not a planed part of the demo. Another person had a PDA and connected also. I was a little surprised at the speed, I had expected the connection to be slower than it was. > I will retire in two months from my job which has had me on the road for > three years now.

I don't seem to have any more free time available now than I had when working, seems other things fill up the day. -- Robert Blair
