Hi, got a dell 6400 which have connected up to the net via NETGEAR DG834G
wireless router. But I just got myself a smartphone and have tried out surfing with the smartphone via the router. Works fine. Tried to create an ad-hoc between laptop and phone. Works fine. BUT everytime I connect to the ad-hoc network, the internet connection is lost!!! why??? Can the 1390 WLAN mini-card in my laptop only deal with ONE wireless connection at the time?/? Help appreciated! (must be someone out there with an wireless internet connection and a ad-hoc connection to another gadget) Cheers |

hmmm... eh what?
Thanks for reply, so you say I can connect two computers VIA router while one (or more) are STILL connected to the interweb? How do I proceed to do that? (sorry, I'm but a greenhorn when it comes to this....) again, thanks for your reply...
