| Ok so you've decided on which technology to go for If your wireless networking communication setup is going to have an Internet connection you really have two choices here, the first is the access point network, basically you purchase a device called a wireless router or router/modem, and this will then share your Internet connection for you 
wireless networking communication guide The other type is the Ad Hoc network connection, this type uses no hardware router or modem, and it actually uses a pc in place of this, the Internet connection is connected to a computer via a hard cable type connection. ICS ( Internet connection sharing ) is then enabled and then the Internet connection is shared. Regardless of which type of network you are using So if you need security please read our windows security fact sheet and our windows Antispyware guide to make sure your computer is secure and has no spyware installed, if you are using the Ad-Hoc network setup this is doubly important, the computer sharing the internet connection is your first line of defence, so it must be the most secure. 
wireless networking communication guide The only advantage of using an Ad Hoc setup would be the cost, you don't have to purchase a wireless router/modem, but like I said this is the only advantage, please note your pc sharing the Internet will have to be running Windows XP. The advantages of a router/modem in my opinion far out weigh this, firstly if you use Ad Hoc the connection will only be 802.11b (we can bump this up to 54mbps but it's still not a true 802.11g connection, the next point is the security, any wireless router/modem worth it's salt will come with a hardware firewall built in, it will also give you a far greater range. It's very easy to connect new machines to if you need to use a cable type connection, if you want to surf the web on any machine, of course the pc sharing the connection will have to be on.
