can anyone guide me on setting up a wireless networking between two laptops... does wireless networking work just like cabled ones? ethernet for example? i have two laptops with wireless capability and wanting to play warcraft III between them... now i've been using the ethernet cables and manually set ips to: laptop 1: 192.168.3 mask: 255.255.255.0 laptop 2: 192.168.2 mask: 255.255.255.0 how can i connect these two wirelessly? does it work the same way?

Well first you need to make 1 laptop your primary connection and have a router connected to it, then make sure your second laptop can receive the signal and it should if you have a wireless PCI card installed on to your laptop. Once you are receive the signal your set really, but if you have set up any type of security make sure both computers have the same settings and you shouldn't have any connection problems.

To get to your admin panel type in your browser 192.168.1.1 since all routers use that same ip address, as for password usually they come pre-installed with username: admin password: admin

To sum up:

-one computer as your main connection with a router
-other computer needs to receive a wireless connection
-Make sure both computers have the same security protocals
