Will I be able to game with a wireless network. When I say game I mean playing mmo's like Vanguard or WoW? I was told it would be a headache since it refreshes the IP every hour or so. I just need to see if it will be less of a headache then I am expecting.

It really depends on the connection. I used to play EQ over a strong five bar signal and it never dropped in-game on me. If you have a good link to a wireless-g connection, I don't think it would be a problem. I would go ahead and set the computer to a static IP and set-up port transfers for the ports the game uses, but that's more for patching then being in-game.

Ive played WoW and City of Heroes religiously on Wireless connections in hundreds of cities across the US and never had any problems. Ive been on a single bar connection an managed fine with some settings turned off in the game. I doubt you'll encounter any problems.

I used to play BF2 over a wireless network.
