Yeah - I'm really torn between the relative ease of going wireless and devoting the time and $$$ for the more permanent cat5 solution. In my current house, I'm just using 802.11b, but that's mainly due to the plaster walls/ceilings that make retro-fitting data cable somewhat difficult. In the new place, I'll have access to most of the rooms either via false ceilings (in the basement) or via the attic. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
