Help on wireless networking

Hi

Soon I will be buying the following:

1. Belkin F5D6000 PCI Network Adapter (for use with Belkin F5D6020 Wireless PC Card)

2. Belkin F5D6020 (Two Units)

The PCI network adapter + One Wireless PC card will go into my Desktop (P-200Mhz with MMX)

The second Wireless PC card will go into my Laptop (Toshiba S-Pro Pentium III 650Mhz)

I believe I won't be needing any Wireless Access Point, as I intend to use the "Ad hoc" mode.

My questions regarding the Adhoc mode are:

1. Will I be able to share a Dial-Up Internet Connection (internal modem) in Ad hoc mode?

2. Will I be able to share Drives and Printer in Ad hoc mode?

3. Will I be able to play games using ad hoc mode?


Another issue I want to know about is...

I have an option to buy Belkin F5D6000 (PCI network adapter) + F5D6020 (Wireless PC card). Together they will form a single UNIT to work in a desktop PC.

The second option is to go for a single Belkin F5D6001. This is a stand-alone wirless network PCI card.

What option to choose?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
