Hi there- I am setting up a mobile business and am being supplied with a Dell Latitude with wifi capablities. I would like to have a printer in another area (about 10 ft away) of my truck. If both pieces of hardware have wifi capabilities, do I need a router ? If later I want to add internet, I plan on a aircard- so internet is a non-issue at this point. Only one computer (the laptop) in the picture. How do I get them to play nicely and recognize each other? Not sure what my OS will be, maybe vista 64 or vista with downgrade to XP.
