Hi
What would I need to allow my pc (which is a workstation, not laptop) to communicate with a wireless router so I can set up a home network? I believe my computer has a standard 10/100 lan card so I don't think it has wireless capability. Do I need to replace this with a wireless (WIFI) network card of some kind, plus what else will I need? I have the router and it's IP but cannot currently log on to it's website as my pc can't connect (due to the communication issues listed above). I assume once I do connect to the router's home page I have to set it to find my pc using DHCP. Do I need to change the internet connection LAN properties on my pc in anyway? I have XP Home.
What is the likely cost for a wifi network card (I live in the UK)?
Many thanks for any help with this.
