| 123821 | 2003-02-25 07:33:00 | I'm looking for a couple of cheap wireless lan cards, so far I have found some $87 (www.dse.co.nz) job'ies from tricky dik'ies. Anyone know of any cheaper? Cheers Liam |

| 123824 | 2003-02-25 07:46:00 | What about this one for compatibility... Not just laptops (Although it would be a pain to keep in a laptop case, but fine for home use!) Here! (www.dse.co.nz) |

| 123825 | 2003-02-25 08:00:00 | i'm all for loosing wires but it comes at 3 cons for 2 pros Pro 1: server room stays clean Pro 2: no rewiring in a building Con 1-3: Cost, Speed and Security PS concreat walls suck befor doing anything i'd go look at TOMS www.tomshardware.com they have the best advise for anything hardware related brands do matter, don't buy a dud |

| 123826 | 2003-02-25 08:29:00 | We had wireless at the college I was at last year.... most people ended up just grabbing a cat5 and using that unless they were actually walking around for the hell of it. It's not all that fast and is rather unreliable. |

Well in this case we are talking a 12 story building that isn't wired with Cat5, so wireless is the only cost-effective approach available here, I think ill grab the cards and see how they go, (they seem cheap enough).

| 123829 | 2003-02-25 09:47:00 | No no, for a start I will be running an Ad-Hoc setup, with the server PC wirelessly "daisy" chaining the rest of the network with it's connection, eventually I will put in access points; but they cost $$$, which as a poor student I don't have much of. Cheers Liam |

| 123830 | 2003-02-25 09:53:00 | so is this 12story building 1 company or what? and are you sending you data encriped?(because a laptop can hack in from outside the doors) becaues my college looked at wireless and they said no because they would need encripted cards($$$$$) |
