If you use a cheapo WiFi router (Linksys, DLink etc.) you do not have to have either computer on for this to work. A wireless router and one PCI WiFi card can be had for about $80 new and much less used. Unless you _really_ don't like your wife and you are torturing her via dial up Internet access for some reason. For about $80 you can have everyone happy and at high speed with a degree of reasonable protection via the router's firewall capabilities. No running cables, no muss no fuss. -- Bill Strosberg
