I know, I know, unfortunatly getting an access point means also buyng a new
ethernet ADSL modem since the one on the system is a USB one :-(
I can have WEP encruption with AD HOC too, so I am not consirned about
security.....
it seems like too much to have an access point for only 2 machines.

However since I will be creating wireless networks in the future also I
would like to learn how to set up a
Wireless network with an access point. Do you have any good links that
explain how to do this?

Thanks in advance
