if your computer doesn't have a wireless card, go pick up a wireless  usb adapter.  it's a lot easier to set up than opening your computer and installing a pci card.\n\nhere is an example.\n\nBelkin Wireless-G USB 2.0 Network Adapter \nModel: F5D7050\nit goes for about $40, but you can always find a cheaper one from Fry's.

If the dataport is a wireless router you'll need to have either an internal wireless eithernet on your laptop or a PCMCIA wireless eithernet card. To set up you connection you will need to go to the host computer and setup a wireless network connection by going to Control Panel from the Start Menu and  selecting Wireless Network Setup Wizard. The directions there should be easy to follow.

First, you need to get a wireless adapter/card for your PC. It's likely you already have one if it's a laptop.\n\nSecondly, you need a wireless router (I have a netgear that works quite well).\n\nFinally, enable WEP security on your router. The instructions to do this are in the manual. If you have these things and need live help, I'll be happy to walk you through it.

If you want to connect to you WiFi at home: \nTry to connect with a LAN Cable to your WLAN Router and reset the passwords for the Wireless LAN.\nThen re-enter the password in the router and the Laptop.

just buy a router and a modem.\n\nconnect the modem to your power source, and then connect the router to the modem. the router transmits wireless signals. therefore, no matter how many computer systems are in a certain region, all of them get to experience LAN connection.\n\nBEST ANSWER? (:

If you believe that you have a "wireless connection"  most likely you do have a "wireless pc adapter" already built-in.\n\nTo verify, go to the command prompt:\nstart->run\ntype cmd and hit enter\nat the c:&#92; prompt type the following:\nipconfifg /all\nif you see anything there that says wireless\nyou are in business.

This may help just make sure that your wireless card will work in Linux so that you won't need to use NDISwrappers

You can setup your linux machine as a samba server. your samba server can even work as a domain controller for your network which can also contain windows clients. You can also use just ssh,telnet or ftp(your linux server should be ssh,telnet or ftp server respectively). For ssh you need to install putty.\nYou can get putty from here http://www.atlantawebhost.com/putty/\nWinscp is also an option. Just figure out one according to your need.

You need to make your Linux box a router. IMO it's cheaper and easier to buy a router. But you need 2 network cards in your Linux box, one with the external IP and one with the internal IP. Then you set up NAT. Connect the internal IP network card to a switch where your other computers are connected to. Make the Linux box's internal network card's IP address their default gateway.

NOPE. Win98 doesn't even know that wireless network adapters exist. You would have much better luck with XP.\n\nBut you need to put the drivers on, there's no way around it, sorry.
