Then your pc will serve as a router. You say your notebook has wifi enabled so you don't have to buy a card for that. Now you only need a PCI wifi card for your desktop and make an "ad hoc" connection. Something like a wireless cross-cable in stead of straight cables to a seperate router.<BR />But you cannot use more then 1 wireless machine at the same time with that..<BR />And its best to buy a small antenne you can put in a good location near your pc. the metal case right in front of the antenna does NOT do the signal much good<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 30 Jan 2004 14:49:43 GMT https://community.sony.cz/t5/pcs-accessories/wifi-between-desktop-and-laptop/m-p/78258#M39989 Oxigun 2004-01-30T14:49:43Z
