Question WiFi
Can 2 computers be connected (FreeBSD and notebook with WinXP) via WiFi if both have WiFi net cards?

yes you could connect any computer (FreeBSD, Linux, Window XP, Mac) to internet via a Router, as long as you set up your router correctly.

Why I need a router to connect 2 hosts?

I think by router he means access-point.

I found this article:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...02april08.mspx

Sounds interesting, I'll try it also for 2 WinXP hosts, have no idea about FreeBSD and XP wifi connection.

Regards,
Tayyab

The MAIN question is what hardware I need except 2 WiFi net cards?

No extra hardware is required as per that Microsoft article.

If WinXP supports ad hoc connections I think I can configure this under FreeBSD (1-2 days Smilie)

Thanks in advance!
