Verizon UML290 aircard----->New Windows 7 PC--------200' CAT5 ethernet----------->Old XP PC.

I'm @ 1.5 hours away from the Westmont IL store. That's where I intend to get what I need for this project.

Thanks for the link, I have no doubt that that's the way to do it, but again, I've never done this before and I need specific, compatible hardware part numbers for each machine. Internal/external adapters, routers, connectors for the cable, etc. I have the book " Windows 7 Inside And Out" ...

Is that specific enough? That's exactly what I need to know to proceed. Forgot about a DVD burner optical dr...

What about gaming? No gaming here. Time to fill in the blanks, sorry but I need specific, compatible hardware guidance.

MPEG (Sony DSC-W55) MPEG2 (Sony DVD-108) MOV (Canon S95) MP4/H.263/WMV (LG Octane) 2. Photo editing with Photoshop Elements 11. 3....

Time to do my first build based on System Guide. When will the next one arrive?
