One wifi laptop

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

is it possible to have only a wireless laptop in a home network. I want to
be able to move around w/the laptop(which is wireless)and not have to use it
non wireless to be
on the web connected directly to DSL modem . I know how to set up home
networking
using a wireless router and a PC pluged into that, then my wireless laptop
comunicates that way., but I just want to use a laptop and some kind of
router just pluged thru the modem. is there a way?
