i know the cheapest is a lan cable . but i want wireless network . by the way can i simply buy a wireless access point instead of a router.

for conx between 2 pcs u can directly connect them this is the ad-hoc mode .... 2 wi-fi adapters required and u can configure them

humm... i do not know wat could be the problem ..... but make sure that the protocols are the same (The ‘g’ & ‘b’ standards are compatible with each other as their operating frequencies are same) .....

@digitizen u will hav to buy another wi-fi adapter for ur desktop .....
