Got myself a USB and PCMCIA adaptor yesterday
:-)
working very well :-D
Put the USB adaptor on a Client PC on my ICS
network...used XP's bridging to bridge it to my LAN card...now I can surf
'net,
share drives etc from my lappy :-) COOL!
Just a pity the batteries dont last more than
about
an hour in my lappy!
By the way £65 for USB adaptor and £55 for
PCMCIA
comes to £120! Was I ripped off, or can't you add up ;-)
The only thing I'm having trouble with is the
WEP
keys...everytime i try to set up with encryption the connection dies
:-( Also did you manage to get the z-com utility software
working
for the USB device? won't run on mine, I read in the documetation that you
should use windows own wireless setup util on XP.

Report.
Well, I bought 2 x PC
Cards,
and 1 x PCI Adaptor (for the server) from PC World.
This morning I took back 1 x pc card and the pci
adaptor - the pci adaptor was causing all sorts of problems, including
locking
up the system, etc. I've now swapped for a USB one and works fine (and
saved a
tenner) - this was on a Win2K server and Win XP server. Win XP refused to
even
acknowledge anything was in the pci adaptor.
I have these running in peer-peer mode, and , next
to
each other, getting 450k/sec - not bad at all.
So the pc card and usb together was £110 !
