Looking to set up WiFi access on the cheap? Check out this very cool article!
"Here's the problem. You're cheap...uh, make that frugal, have one or two wireless laptops that you want to get connected to your LAN, and don't want to buy an access point or wireless router to do it. Can it be done? Sure! If the computer is running Windows 2000, XP, or another operating system that allows you to bridge network connections, you can be up and running in no time. The only other thing you'll need is a wireless adapter of your choice that can be added to your Ethernet-connected computer."
