I would like to set up a wireless system (to enable multiple use of my satelite internet connection), but I don't really understand the hardware I need and the process involved. The two computers I'm looking to link use Windows XP operating system and have network cards already installed. Any thoughts?

You have to use one host PC connected to Direcway and ICS to share the connection. A 2nd NIC in the host is connected to a hub/switch which the other PCs connect to.

Thank you for the reply! It appears that your suggestion is for hooking up an ethernet system? If not, can I use an access point and hook it into the switch / hub and a wireless PCI card in the other PC?
