Wireless would be easier, and maybe even cheaper. You can get a wireless router for $50 or less. Wireless NICs are also coming down in price. I got a Wireless-G PCI NIC for $20 after rebate, definately worth it to avoid running cable. Paul |

To go wireless though, you have to buy the wireless access point, cards for each computer and then you have to set it all up to be safe so some jack@$$ neighbour isnt stealing your internet. Depends whether you already planned on it, what it can really accomplish for you... |

I still prefer to run wire when it's not too much trouble, but if you look around, you can get a wireless network up and running for pretty reasonable prices. As far as making it safe.. if you are complaining about wireless security setup being difficult, you shouldn't be on the internet. :P You click a few options, make a password, and have to type a code into each computer. Not exactly rocket science. That's why I always say if you are running an unsecure WiFi network, you deserve what you get. |
