Computers are my weakpoint, When the Aircard came out, you could only use on 1 computer, Thought it would be nice if some one made an AirCard Router, they do, May be what you need, A Computer Guy may help with an easier/cheaper way. Good Luck
Thanks I am looking into it, It seems there are some on the web, but like you I don't know enough to know if it's what I need for what I have.. ands not planning on spending the money then it not work...Quote:

The Verizon AirCard is for cellular wireless access. This is quite different than computer WiFi. The printer works with a WiFi connection.
The Verizon AirCard will allow you to connect your laptop to the Internet using the cellular 3G network.
Chuckhole, ever work with an Air Card Router?
I tried something similar, but was unseccessful during the trial period of Wingate. I wanted to use a private network with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 for port 80 and https: and another private network having a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
It may have not worked because technically the SM of 255.255.255.255 is not a network. I had no control of either. Both get addresses from DHCP.
They said it was possible, but I never asked with the added glitch.
Chuck?
Only the AT&T version. I have used the bluetooth connection directly to a cellular phone or used the USB cable. Our phone vendors (AT&T and Verizon) have given us some PC cards to demo and we were not that happy with them for our uses. Most of our mobile workforce goes offshore and they do not get cellular out on the rigs.Quote:

You can still use a separate LAN and your computer will exist on both networks but no other computers on the LAN will be able to automatically get out via that connection since only the one computer knows of the route. However, if you choose to, you should be able to setup ICS via that connection.Quote:

I get only 33.6Kb access that way but it is still much better than it used to be. As far as bluetooth access to the phone and then directly on to the 3G network, I have gotten speeds of 115Kb access. Again, all things considered, this is excellent.
Some wireless printers allow for an adhoc network where you can communicate via 802.11 (WiFi) protocols directly from computer to printer.
Check your printer's manual or contact their tech support about creating an adhoc connection.
That's basically what I was triyng to do. At a particular hotspot only http and https are allowed (192.168.. ). I can tether (USB, although Bluetooth is available) the cell phone with an assigned SM of 255.255.255.255 on the (10... ) network.
So, I wanted to use all other ports on the cell network and http/https at the hotspot's network.
