    hi all,
    i've got a dell studio 1555 with win7. the wireless network card in it is a Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN mini-card. i was wondering would it be possible to create a wireless network with this card that could be used for other wireless laptops to connect to?
    i want to use it to play games over a wireless connection. is it possible or do i need to go out and buy a wireless router?
    thanks

    You'll need to get a router. They are pretty cheap now anyway.

    Something like that should do you fine. I know thats komplett but if you walk into any computer shop they should have something similar.
