    OK, I was wondering if it's possible to setup a network to share files wireless with my Linksys wireless USB card in (DESKTOP) and with my (Laptop) that has a bulit in wireless card in it. I don't have a router, nor a crossover cabel, i don't want it that way, so i ask you is it possible to do this. I have searching days for the answer, but didn't get it clear. I tried the windows wirless set up wizard but that was no help. So if it is possible, How do i do it ?


    -Thank You

    i have had an adhoc network set up before its real easy and it works for file sharing like u are asking, if u decided to go that way u need to buy a wireless card/usb dongle and set up both to view adhoc and then away u go.
