LapTop And Desktop

[ilyail3]

I have 2 computers, 1 is a desktop and the second is a laptop
I want to build a wireless network but me laptop don't have WiFi
I don't thing I can equip it with WiFi.
My apartment isn't big so I though about using BlueTooth to connect booth computers.

I have some questions:

Is it possible?
Will BlueTooth be fast enough to surf the internet?

Thanks.

Here are the facts. Bluetooth has a range of about 30 feet. It also has a maximum throughput of 1.5Mbps. Bluetooth might be good to put in a Webpad to surf the internet, but it's too slow to move good size files between your computers. A typical MP3 file is 3Mb. That would take about 20 seconds or so to move between two bluetooth devices. In contrast, 802.11b could have moved 5-7 of those files in that time.

I would much rather have wireless 54G or 108. :D

Does your laptop have a PCMCIA slot? If so then it can accept a wireless network card. If not, do you have a USB slot? If so it can accept a USB wireless adapter.

THen you'd need a wireless access point or a wireless router. All together you are looking at less than $100 US dollars *depending on what you want.

dlink is very easy to install and configure even for the novice, but for some reason couldnt get the wireless print server to connect. still researching that problem.
