how to network 3 computers in wireless network
Hello,
i have 3 pc's. one w/xp - one w/vista- one w/windows 2000.
I use dsl ( at&t-sbc yahoo). I have an external modem. I have bought a wireless nic for each computer.
I have a linksys wireless access point ( dsl port on it).
Do i need to buy a router/switch still? to network the computers together?

yes of course. IF yo have a wired router you would need to. but if not you could jsut use the wireless on the router as this will be an access point. However you could jsut hard wire the access point in to the router to do the same thing...
but yes a wire less adsl router is a router/modem and access point all in one

you can jsut connect the wireless acess point to the DSL.
and then all the pc's will connect to that.
