No.  I want to set up an adhoc network (if I understand this right),
so I can connect the laptop with the desktop (which has a wireless
*pci* card that isn't working yet... I will apply what I learn here to
getting that one up, I hope.)

no.

I'm afraid that I don't know what you mean here.  Do I need to set up
some sort of addresses for the machines so they recognize each other?

If I can get this card working (& I'm beginning to see some light at
the end of the tunnel), I plan on using it at SSU and getting access
into my student account with the card.  Otherwise, I want to be able
to log into the desktop from the laptop.

Thanks again, Mark.
