Carl gave me a wifi set up for Valentine's Day (does the man know me well, or what)... and the only drawback is that it's been a total pain to install. For one thing, the instructions say DO NOT HAVE THE ROUTER CONNECTED to the computer when you're first doing the set-up... but half-way through the set-up, it stalls and can't finish because it's NOT HOOKED UP, except at no point in between the two does it actually inform you when you're supposed to connect it. Grrrrrrrr.

They can then both be networked / online at the same time.

I assumed at first the problem was the ethernet, so waited to try again today... but it's definitely something in the installation sequence.
