Ad Hoc Network
The Ad Hoc network offers peer to peer connections
between workstations, allowing communication
between computers within range that have an 802.11
DSSS compatible PC card installed. A wireless Ad
Hoc network can also access a wired LAN’s TCP/IP
service (such as e-mail and the Internet) by using a TCP/IP software router on an Ethernet
equipped PowerBook or notebook.
Infrastructure Network
The infrastructure network uses an access
point (or several access points) as a
gateway, linking the wireless network to a
wired LAN. As a result, portable
workstations on your wireless network
have access to all of the features of your
wired LAN including e-mail, Internet
access, network printers and files server.
