    All good. But does anyone know where to get hold of a USB GPS for satnav on a laptop. Seems to be rare.

    Also, as the guy mentioned it's easy to set up the two USB wireless connections but is it just as easy of using a wifi card on your pc and then a pcmcia card on your laptop. I had hell when using 2 pci network cards and setting up a straight through connection. First bought a patch cable instead of crossover, then when I had crossover it didn't want to communicate, then it started randomly working. All kinds of problems. I wonder if wireless will be just as bad!?

    Looks like I was right...the price at PC Component Centre WAS wrong....has just gone up to £16.79 inc VAT from £7.99. Good job I got my order in and delivered! ;D

    I knew it was too cheap to be true. Anyone else manage to order one OK before the price changed? :D
    The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing:)

    Have got mine now (well they came yesterday). Have not opened them yet, as I still need to buy a wireless router to use them with!

    Why do you need a wireless router?
    I don't have one and share my broadband between 1 pc and 2 laptops (also file and print sharing) no router needed.
    XP sorts it all out - well, with a bit of twidling here and there!

    In our house we have one desktop and three laptops. I want to set up a wireless network. Getting a router would mean not having to turn on the desktop when I want just the laptop to connect to the internet (I think)!
