just reading your post helped me since I presently have a LinkSys wired router connecting my 2 desktops and wondered if I could leave those as is and get a wireless router for my laptop.
I'm not a mod for this forum but came across your post when searching results on the Netgear Wireless-G router I want to buy. Networking is something I barely know anything about other than how I hooked up my 2 PCs to it. ![]()
But thanks for your posting Chris, I only wish I was able to help you now. ![]()
I use a Linksys RT31P2 router, connected from cable to Pc, for VoIP. I also have a D-Link wireless router I use for net access for my laptop.
I just purchased PRISMIQ's wireless media player, and a Netgear card for wireless connection to my pc. Because the wireless router is connected to the wired router, then to the pc, the media player can't access the pc.
If I were to install another network card, connect the wireless router to this, (creating 2 distinct IPs for the PC) would this be a roundabout way to make this work? I really don't want to shell out the $150 for the Linksys wireless VoIP router for Vonage...
Any help is appreciated.
