   I used Linksys WRT54G . the network appair to be working although sometimes   
   1 Pc diseappear from the network group   
   in the windows 7 explorer left pane. I assume the local DNS i the one fromm   
   linksys. I get a little mixed up with the residential and domestic network.   
   Should i eliminate the residential ?   
      
   The other solution: the tutor's PC as access point didn't work with the   
   ADhoc network. I read contradictory information on this: Some says it works   
   with 2 others say with many PCs
