MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
So, new wireless server thingy from our new supplier only had ethernet connections (former BT one also had USB)
Aging PC only has USB, no wireless, never will be- am I right in thinking one of the many 'plug and play' adaptors is all I need it get up and connected again?
Cheers
Why not just connect it with an ethernet cable if both PC and server "thingy" have them ?
I'd go with either a PCI wireless card or a wired Ethernet connection.
USB to Ethernet / USB WiFi dongles will work, but I'd suggest that USB2 is a prerequisite here - USB1.1 isn't up to it. They're probably dearer as well.
Ive got plenty of wired ethernet network cards lying around.... Happy to send you one if you want one.
If your PC has a usb port it will have an ethernet port. Simply use a Cat5 cable between them, make sure its not a cross over.
or a wireless usb adaptor
