setting up a wireless lan

[Shinta]

hey everyone.. i wanted to set up a wireless lan using 3 computers running win xp pro..

what sort of equipment do i need? any recommendations? my budget is $350 - $400

1 computer is about 5 feet from the dsl line
the 2nd computer will be about 30 feet from the 1st computer
and the 3rd computer is going to be about 200 ft from the other 2 pc's

It all depends on your location and what the signal has to make it though...if you got walls I highly doubt that your little wireless router will be able to send that signal 200ft...mine does at best about 100ft. I have a Dlink DWL-714 wireless router and the DWL-120 network adapters. My network services 4 computers all about 30 - 40ft away from the router in my and the next apartment over. The Linksys wireless AP's and router's are suppose to be a little better than the D-Link's but I am perfectly happy with mine.

Don;'t know if you will be able to do something with that budget...the wireless AP I got was about $350 itself, along with the network cards...each about $80.
