Added computer to garage
I installed a computer in the garage, I got the idea when working on the C3 last week changing the intake manifold and had to consult the forum on a couple things which meant going in the house to get the laptop a few times. I also wanted to listen to internet radio and have the option of playing MP3's, lucky for me my profession is computers so I grabbed one of the old ones laying around and set it up, installed wireless network card and I'm good to go. Here's a couple pics.

Love the idea, but lack the knowledge. I have the computer in the house with internet and would like to be able to link it to the one in the garage, which is a detached garage. Is there a way to go the wireless network thingie to the computer in the garage? I would not have the slightest idea what i would need to buy or how to do it.

Nice idea. I just bring my laptop out when I need the forum's guidance. I have a box or two lying around here. I'll have to look at the possibilities.

Very nice. I set my laptop up on a wireless network about a month ago. Nice to be able to move it around the house and stay on the Internet.
