Connecting a wireless capable ThinkPad R51 to a wired home network.
Posted by Leigh on July 2nd, 2005


Greetings,



I just bought an IBM ThinkPad R51 1836 Q4U. I would like to use its wireless
capability and connect it with the wired home network I have already set up.



I have two computers running Windows XP SP2 connected to a SMC 10/100 Mbps
Broadband Router model SMC7004ABR which is connected to Time Warner's
Motorola SURFboard SB 4100 Cable Modem which, of course, is connected to
Time Warner's cable running in my home. The computers are sharing the
Internet connection and two printers.



What do I need to add to my home network in order to use the wireless
capability of my ThinkPad R51?



Thank you in advance for your help and comments,



Leigh
