anyone on here really good with wireless internet connections etc.
a few weeks ago my desktop crashed.. i was using a router and software from a company, my essentials. i bought a new desktop and hooked everything up but didn't install the software as the new pc has vista and my essentials states that it is not compatable with vista. but the damn thing works...my next question is do i really have to have a desktop connected if i don't want it. (we all have laptops) all of the other pc's come on line without anything being connected to the decktop.. i took all the cables off of it and it sits in a corner not even turned on or hooked to anything. why did i have to install the software on the first pc in the first place if it is not needed. is the modem and the router i have connected to my charter cable susposed to work ok without the the desktop not hooked up to anything. and if my power goes off during a storm, will everything come back on ok. thanks for any input anyone can give on this.
