RE: Both the despised subjects in one email...

Nope ... it's mine. I do fully understand that I can do peer-to-peer
networking for about £100 less if I bought a PC based card rather than an
access point but there are many reasons why this isn't the best route for
me. Firstly all my machines are networked via a 10/100 switch which is an
ideal concentrator for my network, my entire system is built around that
and
occupies (mainly) just one room in my house. Using a PC based receiver card
is going to be dodgy given the number of PCs (and attendent metalwork) plus
power supply noise etc. in my "computer room". Secondly I have an
ideal
central location in my house for a "node zero" which is where I
plan to
install my HomeVision and which would be an ideal site for the access point
as it has no surrounding metalwork, cables or pipes and would make the
transmission distance between client (from my normal movie-watching
position) and access point somewhere in the order of two to three metres.

I appreciate the reminder about using a peer-to-peer setup and do
acknowledge that it's £100 cheaper but I'd rather spend the extra £100 if
it's appropriate and do it "right".

Cheers

Phil
