Assistance with wireless network

Hi

I am getting a new centrino laptop machine shortly and I have bought a dlink DWL G520 wireless network card for my desktop machine. I currently have a LAN connection between 2 machines and i intend disconnecting this connection (or can I maintain a wireless and an LAN system at the same time?).

What I would like to do is to have the centrino connect to my desktop machine and use internet connection sharing on the desktop thought my DSL modem to access the internet. Is there any reason why this may not work if configured correctly? This appears to be a simple process of substitution of the LAN cable for a wireless interface - is that right?

Any advice and pointers appreciated.

I really cannot recommend one for you. However, I'll provide a list of the top manufactures and if you're interested in one you can go to the manufacturer's site and read the datasheet about the product.

You should get one that's using WAP and has SPI a *G* model.

You should get one that does logging so that you can review inbound and outbound traffic to possible dubious remote IP(s) with a logviewer such as Wallwatcher or Kiwi Syslog Daemon and both viewers are free the Kiwi is more generic, but Wallwatcher is my tool of choice.

You may want to invest in a UPS/AVR system to protect your investment. I use a Belkin myself but there are other good ones too and they are cheap.

Thanks for your advice Duane,

Can you recommend a good wireless router for me?

Cheers

PC Magazine recently reviewed a bunch of wireless router / APs.
