kanuti, << Not to be a smart a*s >> 7 pc's does sound like a lot, but here it is.... I have 2 Dells set-up in my office for trading and a Dell lap-top w/a wireless I-net that I take with me when I'm on the road. Now, I have 3 kids who seem to want to go online all at the same time...They used to share my PackardBell (remember them) but now they all have their own e-machines (remember them)..LOL..and the PackardBell got shifted to my Mother who needed to upgrade from her whatever it was (remember them)... Anyway, One Dell4100 cost $1,200 last year brand new and I bought an Identical one on E-bay for $500...The lap-top is brand new and that cost $1,450.00...Mikey was holding a fire sale...The same lap-top nows sells for $1,700.00, but if you catch it right they do offer rebates and free shipping... The 3 e-machines cost $300 each w/a 15" monitor.... And I think the PackardBell cost more than all of the above combined about 5 years ago...LOL... Anyway, I agree wireless is convenient and a great way to build a network... I was only pointing out that it is still expensive compared to conventional networking methods... EOM Shoreco PS How does that gateway work when your on the road ??? I'm interested in knowing...TIA...
