RE: OT Sharing a Broadband Connection

["Lee" <mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well if you trust everyone...

All you really need are some wireless network adaptors like -
http://tinyurl.com/8a4t for each
machine

and a http://tinyurl.com/33y9v if
you're going adsl or a
http://tinyurl.com/5qhc8 if it's
cable...

I've used the cards and the adsl router at a friends and they've given me
n=
o
problems...

You'll have to mount the router as high as possible to given maximum range.

There's a tutorial on the Belkin site http://setup.belkin.com/guide.html

Hello Lee

There will be one PC per household, i.e. four or possibly five max.
The sharers are my neighbours in a small rural village, so we know each
other fairly well.
There is an RAF officer, a solicitor and a barrister amongst them..
There are no teenagers involved.
I'd like to keep the cash expenditure to a reasonable level say =A3100/12=
0
per
household.

Regards

Tracey
