Wireless network question.?

Question

I have a Wireless network card for a laptop (( Not the USB ADAPTER. )) I was wondering if there's anyway possible to adapt my father's desktop so I can plug in my card so he can have internet.. or do I have to go out and get the USB Adapter ??

Answer 1

no you cannot use the card without a pcmcia / pci adapter

Its not worth it to buy one

Here is a way to do it

Enable "Internet Connection Sharing"

Your wireless internet card will be the in or source

Your wired network card will be the out

An ethernet cable will be used to connect your laptop internet to your father's network card on his computer/ desktop

Answer 2

You can use the card but you need to buy a special PC card adapter fot the PC.  It fits in a slot in the back of the computer and your Wireless card slips into it.

Or you can get some that mount in the front

Answer 3

You will either need to get the USB adapter, or buy the card that would plug into the motherboard, I think that they both cost bout the same.
