verizon air card

I was looking into getting an air card and found out that you can only connect it to one computer at a time. I was wondering if anyone on here new of a way to use it on more than one computer at a time without the use of a wireless router. The reason no router is the software you install makes it so you can not use a wireless router. The versizon site is not working so I can't post a link of the wireless card I will be using

Guessing that you are wanting to do ICS. (internet connection sharing)
You can read the Windows Help file for ICS...Basically you'd run a cat5 cable from the machines original network adaptor to the second pc.

Only if both computers have standard wireless adapters that are capable of operating in ad-hoc workgroup mode with each other.

If you are using Verizon's KPC650 card look into getting a Kyocera KR1 router. You just slip the air card into the slot on the back and presto you have both a wired (4 ports) and wireless router. It uses Verizon's EVDO business broadband and smokes if you are near a hot tower.
By the way ths is a full featured router with all the wireless security if you choose to use it. You can also disable it if you choose not to use it.

Good luck

Looks like that router is made by D-Link.
