WiFi = wireless fidelity Go wireless and make your network private with a passcode ("key"). Like they said, you still have the wired ports if you want to hook anything up that way (such as the nearest computer). You'll need a wireless adaptor for each computer. For desktops, I found installing a PCI adaptor gets a better signal than a USB adaptor I tried, but the USB is simpler to install if you haven't installed a card into a computer before. That's based on one a single instance, so maybe the USB's are stronger now. Wireless G will probably be fine (they're on sale everywhere), though you could splurge and go for "N", giving even more range and speed, etc.. N routers were like $99 at microcenter. Anyway, yesterday I bought a Linksys G PCI adaptor on sale there for $39 (reg. $49), to be used with our new Dell running Vista to communicate with a Dell running WinXP. (I think the Linksys G routers were like $59.) I'm also sharing the printer that's connected to the XP computer, and doing so without a printer server, which everyone wants to sell you. There's a way to do it without it, but none of the store geeks will share that info. (Turn on file sharing and "share this printer", install the driver onto the other computer, then explore and find the main computer on your network, under it find the printer on the network, and select it.

Sagging shelf, concrete counters, metal siding--gotta' be loud in there, rough sawn 'cabinets', no drawers that I can see and a pile of rocks for an island...in a kitchen that looks like it lacks storage. Rough wood or is that rusty metal? on the refrigerator which isn't sitting level. It does look kinda' cool but actually living with that??? No Thank You.

I'm trying to figure out how to reply to each response but I'm just not seeing it so. Thanks Steve for the formula. jreagan this is a bare bones AC transformer that needs an enclosure and maybe a ground somewhere. That brings me to the power cord that has 3 wires. I was hoping for a simpler solution like a RadioShack device with built in plastic case. dennisgli this link shows something like what I have. Model Number PF42440 Home Depot http://www.homedepot.com/p/Packard-40VA-120-20-240-Volt-24-Volt-Secondary-2-ft-Mount-Transformer-PF42440/203565058?N=5yc1vZc4nlZbae

It works, and it's fast!! I just now pluggedi it in, I've been so busy mopping floors..ugh. I plugged it in and a blue light appeared, then I pushed this round button on top of the router which didn't say what it was for but had a keychain icon or something like it. I pushed the button on the extender again and all the lights lit up instead of the original two. Hopefully it wasn't a fluke and it will keep working. Thanks for all the tips!
