Based on what I have working at home I say you'll need an access point plus a crossover cable or a hub. I've got the following setup: One computer using a SOHOWare NetBlaster II card, One SOHOWare NetBlaster II Wireless Hub (access point), one Linksys 5-port hub, 2 or 3 other systems connected into the hub. It all works like a charm. One of the wired systems is my firewall/router for cablemodem access. My wife uses the wireless machine and the only time we had a problem was when too much stuff (sewing machine, books, etc) piled up in front of the Net Blaster antenna. Hope this helps. -- Jack Ungerleider jack at jacku.com
