Yep, that's correct.

Two ways to do it:

1/ Computer to Computer

2/ Set up one of the computers as a software base station.  Then the other
     one (or the other ones) can connect to it.  It can then allow the
     "client" computers attach to the internet etc via it.

I would recommend setting the Cube up as the SWBS as it has more process-
ing power to handle the workload.

Good luck,

Wayne
