GL: RE; Verizon on the Loop

Yes, you can access the Internet with both computers at the same time.  Having
a 13yr old -- that is a requirement on our long cruises (he spent 2 months
straight with us on the boat last summer).  Without a router -- you need to
setup an Ad-hoc network between the computers -- then you can share the
Verizon Aircard connection (advance tab on properties) -- then set the gateway
on the other computer to be the IP of the computer with the card.  I'm sure
I'm missing many steps but that is the overall view.

Enjoy your evening,
Robert

By "sharing" do you mean you switch the aircard
back and forth
between computers, or can you
you access Internet with both computers at the
same time?

FYI:  You can
setup the computer running the Aircard to share the Internet
connection -- no
router is required.  We have two laptops on the boat -- one
for
navigation/business and one for the kids.  We share the Verizon Aircard
connection.
