Ive been asked to put a computer together for someone and im going to plug everything in for her too which is going to involve connecting it to her BT home hub! I dont have a clue where to start with these wireless things! My networking skills end at file and printer sharing using a parallel cable. No doubt there will be a BT cd rom but I want to avoid using it, I hate those cds that get handed out... AOL are another one for it. Can someone tell me where to start and what im going to have to do. I really am lost before I even get started. How do the hardware firewalls work? Am I right in thinking no software is needed whatsoever and the hub will do all the work? How do you make the setup secure? The PCI wireless card is a Dynamode WL-GI-600XA. WiFi Card Dirt cheap and the drivers seems like the crap ive had before with dynamode chips but its got 802.11g, PCI2.2 support and WPA plus XP drivers so I bought it. She wanted to spend £500 and I managed this for £525 with next day delivery... Core2Duo E6300 Asus P5L-mx Corsair 667mhz 1gb in dual channel Maxtor (!) 160gb SATAII Balck Cube case Case 19" Widescreen Monitor DVD-RW 18x Sony and Sony Floppy Keyboard/Mouse, 2.1 speakers, Wifi card. No psu on the list... its gonna have to be the generic crappy one until I persuade her to spend more money... its already over budget and a £40 psu wouldnt have done the rest of the system much good.... id have to sacrifice either dual channel ram or the core2duo.
Im not that familiar with BT Home Hub but here are some pdf guides for you to read. Quick Start Guide User Guide
