| technically both laptops can't talk to the PC at the exact same
millisecond.....but
| because it's so fast it of course appears they are talking to it at the
same
| time.
|
| So you wouldn't have any problems with 10 computers talking at once let
alone
| only 3.

As long as ALL PC's were within range of ALL PC's......

In the Infrastructure configuration each machine only needs to be in range
of the AP

eg:


PC 1 -------- PC 2 ------- PC 3

If PC1 and 2 are in range and 2 and 3 are in range of each other, yet PC 1
and 3 aren't within Range 3 and 1 would not be able to talk

However if PC2 was an AP PC1 talks to PC3 thru the AP, so they would be
fine.
