A Few Questions

JPA

I'm looking to set up a wireless network with NTL BB with a desktop and 2 laptops. A few questions I would like answered please.

• What's a good relatively cheap router to get and where's the best place to buy? I also require a usb wireless adapter.
  
  I was looking at this bundle. http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=304347&cks=SER Any good?
  
  
• Is it difficult to set up wireless with Win 98 and a USB adapter?
  
• Is it possible to limit the bandwidth computers in a network receive?
  ie With a 10 meg connection, 1.5 meg for each laptop and 7 meg for the desktop?

Any help would be great. Thanks.

Komplett are generally decent.

# Is it difficult to set up wireless with Win 98 and a USB adapter?
- Short answer: Yes. Check whether the device 'supports win 98' - and even then,expect some headaches (It's a USB issue more than a WiFi issue..). win98 SE= a few less headaches ..perhaps..


# Is it possible to limit the bandwidth computers in a network receive?
ie With a 10 meg connection, 1.5 meg for each laptop and 7 meg for the desktop?
Yes. Use Search (Comp -> subforums, it's been discussed over a few forums many many times.)

Personally, I'd check out the Linksys wrt.. better support, and flexibility.. *shrug*

Hi jpa,

I have a wrt54g and have no probs with sharing my IBB breeze connection, file transfer between 2 wired PCs/wireless laptop & printing over the network too.

Very easy to setup too
