Simply put, a LAN is a network that exists in a relatively limited area. A network is two or more computers
connected together sharing files and peripheral devices such as printers.
The Wireless LAN Card allows you to interact with other computers without having to run cables normally
associated with networks. This lets you move your computer around while staying connected to your network.
There are two ways to use the Wireless LAN Card. One way is to connect directly to one or more Wireless LAN
Card equipped computers, forming an Ad-Hoc wireless network. The second way is to connect to an Access Point
that gives you access to an existing wired LAN, forming an Infrastructure wireless network.

Ad-Hoc mode offers peer-to-peer communication between wireless stations within range of each other, eliminating
the need for an Access Point. When set to use Ad-Hoc mode, the wireless-enabled Pocket PC can connect to
another Ad-Hoc peer, which could be other computer or Pocket PC equipped with 802.11b wireless adapter set in
Ad-Hoc mode. A typical Ad-Hoc network may look like Figure 1-1 where all the wireless stations use the same SSID,
channel, WEP settings (if enabled). They are in the same subnet and can share files by using TCP/IP and NetBEUI
protocol.

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 or desktops on your wireless network have access to all
of the features of your wired LAN including e-mail, Internet access, network printers and file server.
