| 448934 | 2006-04-24 00:44:00 | Hi there guys, i have some one that is looking to change to the Vodafone 3G Data card to replace there existing phone set up. They have a laptop, but would like to use it on the desktop, and network it from there. Now my question is has anyone seen a USB device that can take this type of Data card. If not is there anyother way of setting up this guys house besides running a wireless network through the laptop. Looking forward to anyone with an opinion on how to help. Cheers |

| 448935 | 2006-04-24 01:16:00 | Just to clarify, you want to be able to put the PCMCIA Vodafone 3G card into the desktop somehow and share the connection with the laptop? | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 448936 | 2006-04-24 04:50:00 | Thats the one mate. I could always run it backwards as in run the 3G through the laptop and have a wireless LAN in the house for the deskto,. But I swear that I have seen an adapter to do what im trying to do though. Just cant remember where. | CaptinMoor (8392) | ||
| 448937 | 2006-04-24 04:59:00 | I'm pretty sure I have seen such PCI cards. DSE, Jaycar, and Global Pc don't have them. ;) Wouldn't this be very expensive network access? |

| 448941 | 2006-04-25 01:15:00 | Don't know if these (www.geekzone.co.nz) are available yet. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 448942 | 2006-04-25 21:29:00 | Thanks I have actually seen these before . But man are they expensive . They are around $899rrp and that is a little bit to expensive for what this guy is after . But thanks for the URL though . I have actually decided to go with the PCI data card adaptor in the above URL . It is alot cheaper and I can network the guys machines though a wireless router that he already has . So I think that this is the most cost effective way but if anyone has a better idea please let me know . I am always open to new ideas . |
