    LOS will give you the 300 m range but it is not required. The range reduces the more obstacles that the signal needs to pass through. Cheapest option for you two would be to get a wireless lan kit which will provide a hub and a pcmcia wifi card. If its two pcs you have and pcmcia is not an...

    bluetooth wireless phoneline internet access

    Buy yourself a wireless lan kit. You get with it at least one pc card WiFi adapter should your laptop not have it built in. The core of the kit is a hub which is a doddle to install. Wireless guru

    Wireless Advice Needed

    All this sounds a very expensive option to the limited information you have provided so far. Based on the factors you have already mentioned, a VPN tunnel over a gprs connection is the most obvious route. The fact you mention anytime/ anywhere indicates the guys with the PDA's are out and...

    Best way to learn

    Crikey, I havent been asked that before. I crossed over from networking about 2 years ago but the company I joined offered me full training based on my background. All the courses I have done since have been in house and also designed in house. Also all my engineers are the same. I am...

    Orange SPV as a USB modem

    Should you wish to try this, then dont waste your time. It does not work due to no appropriate drivers and the matter has been handed back to microsoft. IR connectivity is easy enough. Bluetooth is a no goer as it doesnt have it. Wireless guru

    outlook 2000 and mobile phones

    But that is the point. In xp and 2k telephony is integrated into Phone and modems. The Telephony components cannot be edited as they could in earlier windows. Is there an option within telephony, such as the unimodem configuration for example, that allows dialling rules to be disabled. I know...

    home brew ?

    You can get yourself a leased line to a wireless hub (WiFi) and set yourself up with a series of wireless hotspots. Then flog WLAN cards and charge a subscription. You can offer 5 Mbps to anyone who signs up. Possible biz opp for you. Businesses with low bandwidth would scream for it if dsl is...

    Wireless neworking without a WAP?

    A simpler solution and a very cheap solution to all this would be to buy two IMSI usb bluetooth adapters and pair them off. IMSI's cost pennies and will pair up with anything bluetooth including PC suite which Nokia locked out to supposedly all other bluetooth chipsets. Just an alternative :)...
