I'd like to try to learn to use a computer to program decoders and other things that many of you guys do here. Someone is letting me use their nice IBM laptop that has a wireless card in it .... Intel Pro/Wireless 2200 BG Network .... the laptop told me. But we only have a regular wired router hooked up to the cable modem in our house. Isn't there a way to use a wireless laptop (or other wireless device) with a wired router? Something like ...... I would plug "gizmo A" into a port on the router, and I would plug "gizmo B" into the port on the laptop, and these two gizmos could communciate wirelessly? Or am I just dreaming this up? If there is such a set up, could you please tell me the exact terminalogy of the items I need to order? Anyone have a favorite place to oder computer stuff from. I hate going to the local computer super stores. Thanks Greg Ross
