Put my car pc in yesterday and just couldnt get the gprs to work. Couldnt understand why then remembered a conversation i had with mailto:m@thew">m@thew about how the glass is tinted and how radar detectors dont work because of it and figured it must be that. put it by the clear bit and now its sorted-just a tip if anyone does the same.
A few questions now. How should i connect it up to my pc in the house. Its got a wireless usb device(sorry dont no its name) but as i understand it i need the same for my pc. could anyone tell me what part i need from this site http://www.cclcomputers.biz/acatalog/http://www.cclcomputers.biz/acatalog/
-How far will this wireless network. Im in the loft at home about 10 m away from the window and the closest i can get my car is about 10m away the house. Is it going to work that far?
Another thing i was thinking as an alternative to a network was usb stick storage device coupled with an external dvd player. Id use the stick device to transfer music and then use the dvd player to transfer larger files that id wrote to disc. I have a device which converts any dvd drive to an external one. Also i thought external harddrive with the same device. Would it make a hardrive external the same way it makes a dvd drive.
Another question-sorry. I tried connecting a cd drive to the computer last night via the usb converter thing but what do i do from there. It powered up but how do i access it? It wasnt in "my computer" where i expected it to be.
Its running xp-cheers for any help
Last question how quick are those wireless network?
