Really, blimey that's impressive. Everything I've tried (admittedly old kit) wouldn't communicate without a dedicated AP.

I stand corrected

Alright if youve got a spare Wireless Card laying around

It was a real pain to setup thou. The driver for the wireless card ment it could be used as an AP or as a proper wireless card. You could only use one mode at a time and It killed my wired lan on 2 other computers so I quickly went with a decent wireless router. Plus having the wireless card in my main rig ment loosing 2 usb ports as I ran out of PCI slots, so I regained them.

Much better solution in the end... so I think were both right. A Wirless router would be the nicest solution.
