Soon I will be getting ADSL, but first I need to get a network running between the three comps in my house.
The first two are easy, they're both upstairs and only a few metres apart, so I was thinking just a couple of network cards.
But then it gets more complicated - the third one is a laptop (usually downstairs), and doesn't have any ethernet ports in it. What it does have is one of those funny little card slots, where I think I could put in a wireless network card, but would I be able to ge this to connect to the same network as the other two? and what hardware and prices am I looking at?
PS .I think i've already posted something like this, but I can't really remember, and I can't really remember the answers given either.

You need a wireless network hub for you to plug your upstairs computers into and a wireless card for your laptop.
I think you're looking at £100 here.
