[QUOTE="Eeyore, post: 540652, member: 19444"] The problem will be the fact that the wireless adapter is USB. All of the processing for the Wireless LAN needs to be done on the CPU of the PC, but for the Wired NIC, for both onboard or plugin (ie PCI), they will have their own processor. So for the wired LAN, the PC's CPU will offload the tasks associated with the network to the netword card. To solve this, you either need to install a Wireless PCI card if you have a free slot, or, buy a wireless accept point that can act as a bridge and connect that via ethernet to your MP Server. That way, the task of wireless comms is offloaded from the PC. [/QUOTE]
