There are two kinds of wireless networks:
1) An ad-hoc, or peer-to-peer wireless network
consists of a number of computers each equipped with a wireless
networking interface card.
Each computer can communicate directly with
all of the other wireless enabled computers. They can share
files and printers this way, but may not be able to access
wired LAN (Local Area Network) resources, unless one of the
computers acts as a bridge to the wired LAN using special
software. (This is called "bridging")
Ad-Hoc or Peer-to Peer Networking?
Each computer with a wireless interface can
communicate directly with all of the others. |

2) wireless network can also use an access
point, or base station. In this type of network the access
point acts like a hub, providing connectivity for the wireless
computers. It can connect (or "bridge") the wireless
LAN to a wired LAN, allowing wireless computer access to
LAN resources, such as file servers or existing Internet
Connectivity.
