another question

[DDR-PIII]

I wanna know something ...... ok right now I've got my modem going to my PC which is a gateway so the other two computer get the net from it.... its hard wired lan... so if i take another PC and put it on that LAN...can I also make a WAN and have them both connected and accessed by one PC ? im just gonna be using them for seti and maybe gaming sometimes.

That isn't what a WAN is. It would still be a LAN. What do you mean by "both connected and accessed by one PC?"

Just need some clarification before I can help out.

I don't fully understand your question, but based on your drawing, that setup would work as long as you configure your PCs right.

I figured out what you were asking...you want to create a LAN with both 100baseT and 802.11...that will work, just have your WLAN computers use the IP address of the PC with LAN connection as it's gateway and then pipe that on through to your real gateway. One point it that you'll want to use one of your better PCs for that LAN to WLAN translation.

yeah it'll be a 3.06Ghz P4 and 512Mb of DDR 333 or 400 or 433 whatever is out then. oh one more questions... anyway to make them work on giga bit ethernet ?

All of your NICs must be Gigabit and all copper must be cat5e. Hubs and/or switchs too.
