I have 3 home computers networked with regular ethernet cables and router.
Recently purchased a WiFi capable PALM and would like to be able to use my
home internet connection. Is there a way i can have a WiFi connection as
part of an ethernet network? Thanks!

Add a wireless access point to your router. Many are available. Check at
Newegg.com or do a google search. Also, the cost of wireless capable routers
are pretty low. It may be better to just replace the router. I didn't want
to mess with my existing network, so I just added a Belkin AP to an existing
switch on my network, near the center of the house. No problems at all!

ok-- so my understanding is that a wireless access point will connect to my
existing router (in one of the available regular ethernet ports) and turn it
into wireless?.. sounds perfect!
