One of Ubuntu's strengths is its skill in handling wireless. We use a wireless router connected to our cable modem for our Windows, Mac & Ubuntu machines and external HDD. It works just fine. I had troubles (but solved them) getting Xandros to recognize my wireless card, but Ubuntu just connected. I think some cards work better than others, though, so a browse through the Ubuntu forums or a google might help you find out if your wireless card is compatible.

A router seems pretty standard these days. You can pick up decent ones for $50 at major electronics retailers.<br><span class="sg"><br>Justin<br><br></span><div><span class="q"><span class="gmail_quote">On 1/16/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">
