Bluetooth Network

[Mr. Elmo]

how about this one...its max transfer rate is 11Mps. a lot more....its cheap too. my moms comp is literally on the other side of the wall so distance shouldnt be a prob.

Do not use bluetooth. It was designed to be part of a PAN (personal area network). It puprose was to get rid off all the wires from behind your computer like the mouse, keyboard, printer, cell, pda, etc. It was not designed to connect 2 computers together. They made it only have a short range on purpose so that it only connects things to your own computer and for security reasons. I don't think that it can go through walls very well.

Also, ive used a bluetooth mouse with my friends computer. It really sucks. It would always lag a little even thought it was a new computer and the mouse was about a foot away

Just go with a real wireless router. 802.11b is all most people need and it keeps getting cheaper and cheaper.

You should be able to get 54 Mb/s wireless PCI adaptors for less. If you have spare pci slots on the two pc's then buy a pci adpator instead.

i guess ill go look at some new wireless nic instead.

This seems good, but a bit expensive. I would still recommend the 54 Mb/s wirelss router option (plus adaptors)

Data transfer speed is important because you will want to swap files between the pc's. If you have a quick connection it makes things more convenient.
