I happen to live next to a wireless hotspot so two computers, two usb
wireless adapters and away I go with no probs. But the main computer
has the only printer (my other printer just died). I wanted to access
it remotely from the second computer so I got a netgear wireless
router and hooked it up to the main computer. I had to do it manually
because there is no internet ethernet connection to allow it to be
installed by the netgear wizard. Anyway, I created a network, shared
the printer, used wep, and viola I can see the printer and print
remotely. Cool, but now the main computer loses it's wifi internet (or
it crawls at snails pace.) It has to do with the LAN or local area
connection being on with the wireless router. If I disable the LAC the
wifi internet works great. Enable it wifi sucks but I can print
remotely. Is this conflict normal? Is there anything that can be done
to have both up and running?

Thanks
yks
