Okay... here's the break down. I am new to the whole Wireless Network stuff.
The only reason I am breaking into it is because I have purchased Creative's
Wireless Music system which uses 802.11b technology to access your MP3
collection right off your hard drive. Where I think is messed up is that
with no prior wireless gear, I purchased only the Creative Wireless Music
system and a D-Link Wireless Access Point. My question is this... will I be
able to connect the Wireless Access Point directly to a spare Ethernet point
in my PC and be able to work with just that? I don't need any wireless
internet capabilities as I am only running one PC in my home. The only
reason I need a wireless signal is to allow my PC and the Wireless Music
system to communicate with each other. What is the minimum equipment I need
to make this happen? The Access Point shipped out to me today but I can
always return it and get the right piece of hardware, especially since the
Wireless Music system won't ship for a few days still.
Thanks for any help I can get. I've searched all over the web trying to find
out if a WAP can communicate directly with an Ethernet card instead of a
router but did not have any luck. Thanks again.
