I use Diamonds Homefree Wireless to network my daughters laptop to my tower.
I use an ADSL setup to access the internet. With WinNat installed on the
tower which also has the ADSL router coming in through a NIC she is able to
access the internet anytime my system is on. I used the wireless because
running new wiring in my condo is next to impossible. If you choosw this
route besure to download the latest drivers from Diamond. Their HomeFree
Wireless Combo pack comes with 1 ISA card and 1 PCMCIA card. Range is
approx. 150'
