    Hi guys,
    I have set a wireless network w/teo wired pc(dell and local buils) and 1 dell latitude notebook. I am usring a linksys wft54gs router and a wpc54g adapter.
    I have gotten configuration from Linksys to setup the network. They advised a "WEP" something (a ten digit key).

    Will I be confined to my home network only with this "key"???
    Can I take this notebook to the "coffee shop" downtown and get connected to the internet?
    If no, what do I have to do to make this notebook available to the "outside world"?
    Thank you,

    Your wireless card will search for connections when you move around town ....you may discover ones that are open and ones that are closed to you ...
