Networking A7N8X-E Deluxe (wifi card) and Windows NT Laptop
I have purchased an ASUS wifi card for this mobo and would like to
network it with my work laptop (Dell lattitude D600) that runs on Windows NT. The wifi card instructions say that it is only compatible with W98se, W2K, Win ME and WinXP. My home pc runs on WinXP Home. I've had a look around for an PCMCIA card that supports Win NT without any luck. Is there any hope and what PCMCIA card would I need? |

If the Dell laptop has an Ethernet connector, this external box prepares it for Wifi. This turns the laptop into a portable computer, rather than a true laptop, as you'll need a powering solution. But at least it avoids having to drag a long Ethernet cord around the house. http://www.linksys.com/splash/wet54g_splash.asp http://www.dlink.com/products/?model=DWL-810%2b No idea how well it works, it is just the first thing I found in Google by searching for "wifi for ethernet".

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but why not simply upgrade the OS
on the laptop to Win2K? "Blobby" wrote in message oups.com...
