[AccessD] OT Networking at home (complete NOVICE)

I did it here recently.  Got a Linksys Wireless Point Router BEFW1154 and a
wireless point for an office about 30 feet away.  The router has four wired
ports on the back (I've got four machines on wired connection) plus a WAN
port for the broadband.  With XP it just starts itself up and suddenly you
can 'see' the other box.  Both boxes get internet access simultaneously.
The router was about $70 and the wireless access point for the remote
computer was about $50, I think.

And all five boxes can be on the internet and do email at the same time.

HTH,

Rocky

> To all,
> I have two desktop PC's at home (1 downstairs, 1 upstairs), mine is
upstairs parents are downstairs.  I have broadband internet connection.  I
want to enable them to use my broadband connection from downstairs.
> Could someone please give me advice on solutions for this, whats involved,
what I will have to learn etc.  I would like to go for the wireless option
(if possible), if anyone has any experience on this.  Also hopefully at some
point next year I will be starting up on my own (part-time), so I will be
looking at servers etc hopefully.
> Any advice on best solutions v cost will be greatly appreciated.
