Do you know if Centrino technology is compatible with either the 802.11b or 54G standards? I figure the next laptop I purchase will probably have this in it and it would be nice to connect to the already existing wireless network at home.
Thanks for the response rpc. I figure it's worth the money to get the wireless router for the extra protection. Could you clarify, though, doesn't the router assign different ip addresses to each computer on the network? It doesn't matter to me either way as I don't need a static ip, but I was just wondering how this was done. Also, it seems like certain routers have print sharing, some don't. Same thing with firewall protection. Is this true or do they all come with these features?
Ok, new term. I'll look for it - first time I've heard of it. I'll check out the book you mentioned as well. Once it's set up I'll see if I can get canyonman00 to hack into the system.
