Hi Nancy,
Yes, you can do this. You would simply ignore the setup for the broadband
connection. It will still function as a Local Area Network (LAN).

Subject: [PCBUILD] can I network without broadband
Hello List:
Can anyone help me with what seems like a silly question?
I wish to hook my laptop computer to my desktop which is located in another
room,using a wireless connection, from the reading I have done seems like
they want you to have broadband to set this up. Is this necessary?
I just want to be able to move files and to print to my desktop with out
having to move my laptop back and forth between the two room. Any advise
from the knowledgeable people on the list would be appreciated. The laptop
is running windows XP, and he desktop is running windows 98, the laptop had
wireless capabilities already was just looking to see if I can hook up a
wireless router. Have looked for answers but the ones I have located didn't
seem to address this specific issue.
Thank you
Nancy
