>>Our machines are about 15 meters distant from each other and I don't wish to string wires. Peter, my absolute best advice is to string wire. Run category 5 unshielded twisted pair. It's as easy to run as phone cord, and you can put 100 megabits on it. If you want a little more best advice, run the cable from each pc location to a point pretty close to where the phone service comes into your house and put a hub there. Then you're set for cable, DSL, whatever comes. However, you can put a hub near either machine and run cable to the other, or with only two computers you can get a crossover cable and skip the hub. Save the RF etc connections for out by the pool <gg>. Spots
