Re: [NTLK] Can Newton access Internet via ethernet connection to my laptop PC?

Actually, I have my 2100 set-up to work either with my Ethernet card or my
WiFi card. The Ethernet is nice as it draws less power but the Ethernet card
has the freedom of movement. Both of them work great with my D-Link wireless
router/hub. I have my desktop and my notebook on Ethernet routinely. But I
keep a wireless card for the notebook for when I want to ramble around the
house. Which is pretty much how I have the Newton setup. When I'm in my home
office everything is Ethernet. When I move to the living room etc, I switch
the notebook and the Newton to WiFi. I pretty much read everything on eth
WikiWikiNewt and on Hiroshi's page to get it all setup. I tried a WaveLAN
Turbo Bronze at first but couldn't get it to work so then I switched to a
Linksys for the Newton and everything went as described in the WikiWikiNewt.
But if you have additional questions feel free to ask me. And yes DJ, I hear
you telling me to write something up for the WikiWikiNewt. I will when I get
the time.
