well, mo, doug , and ralf,,,,,,,,,youll are discussing something of interest
, i need to know about. please, i am having trouble understanding this. when
you speak of routers and access pts and stuff arent you talking about say,
one computor in the house or dorm or whatever is connected to a broadband ,
cable or someother source and you are connecting to that source wirelessly.
that would be one situation. now , the other is dealing with wi fi, and
801.11 g or b or whatever, when you are near a hot spot, like starbucks or a
library or a book store or something..........and you are able to connect to
whatever. is my thinking correct about these issues or am i on mars. i am
seriously trying to figure this out, i have built in 801,1g on my laptop, i
am assuming i cannot connect to the internet via wireless cuz i am not near a
hot spot. is that true.........therefore, i have to connect using my dial up
isp. right. please explain , thanks
