Hello. I hope somebody can help me with this subject.



My pc is connected to the internet by an usb-modem, which has wireless connection to my internetprovider.



This pc with the internetconnection shares it with 2 other pc's connected by ordinary net-cabel and a 5 ports skancom switch.



This is working pretty well.



Now I have bought a notebook (without any wireless card but a connector for net-cable) I would like to connect my notebook to the pc with internetconnection so I also can use the notebook on the internet. But not by a cable - there must be some solution with wireless, a card or usb-adapter.



I will be very thankfull if somebody can give my advices about what to do.



best regards from Erling Simonsen, Herning, Denmark.

¨ OK, I was at the dealers store today and asked for changing the usb-stick to a cardbus card, but they told me that the stick was more convenient than the cardbus card, so it maybe a bad advice from them?

OK Thank you for answering me.

You need a wireless access point to connect to your network switch, and a cardbus card for your notebook.

A cardbus card is more conveinient than a usb device.

Its up to you. The usb device is proably on a cable where the cardbus card would be internal.
