I'm going round to my Dad's tonight to set him up wirelessly.
He has bought a Belkin 125 adsl modem/router, pcmcia and pci card combo which, if anyone is interested was £100 from savastore.com.
I know that setting up the wireless connection to his desktop will be easy as I obviously gave him administration rights when I set his PC up.
The problem will be with his laptop. Ideally I would like to set this up for him so we can test out the ideal location for the router but his account is restricted to a domain user.
As an educated guess, bearing in mind no-one apart from his IT department knows his exact access rights, do you think I will be able to configure his laptop for him or will his work have to do it?
I.e. do you need admin rights to set up a wireless network on Win2k SP4 with a PCMCIA card?
Cheers.
