Wireless is still new me so excuse me if this sounds elementary.
I'd like to be able to access wifi with my desktop computer. My laptop
is able to access wifi with it's built in wifi card, but I'd like to
get something so I can do the same with my desktop. (My apartment
building offers free wifi to its tenants, and I'd like to access the
wifi network not only with my laptop, but my desktop computer as well.)
Do I need a wifi card for my desktop? Do they even make ones that are
compitable with desktop computers? I've searched and couldn't find info
on this subject.
Also, I'd like to create a mini-wireless network between my desktop and
laptop using the free wifi. Do I need an additional hardware device to
achieve this, or can I run the Network wizard as normal to achieve
this?
thanks in advance!
