why would you need a pc for wireless all you need is a incoming internet source dsl cable what ever (i have roadrunner) a wireless router and a wireless card for your laptop


but you will need a network cable to set up the wireless i don't recomend setting it up wireless and thats it


the only other wire you need is the charger for charging your laptop




if you have a wireless router what is it??


if you don't get a wrt54g

well i just bought a wrt54g. so all i need to do is set it up to the cable modem and have no wires going to another computer?
the set up asks me to set it up to a pc??? whats up with that?
why dont you recommend setting up wireless?? its mostly for my home.. and i am friends with my neighbors and they dont have internet.. i live in a old neighborhood.. haha..
so i dont think anyone will take my internet connection.. plus i work for the internet company so i can get credits up the wazoo..haha.
i dont have a wireless card. it is built in.. it says.. everytime i hookup to the internet is tries to detect a wireless connection..

thanks for the link too.. i am at work right now so i will check it when i get home.. and ill let ya know. or ill send a pm to ya. thanks..

well laptop = pc its the same thing



the reason i say set it up wired is because



say you seting it up and you loose the wireless connection if you were in the middle of configuring someting or upgrading the firmware wich i do recomend i have the same router


the router would not let you in or or worse

so when setting it up use the cable

Sounds like a codec or one of the settings for a codec is off. I've had problems with FFshow or one of those codecs.

do you have a messenger


give me your user name ect





yes you download it


then it will ask you if you want to install the codec and the player or just the codec


unless you want alot of spyware just install the codec
