My friends have had trouble with them in our old flat, though I have known people to use them with no trouble at all. It mainly depends on the wireless network signal strength. My opinion is on a PC there is no reason what so ever for using wireless as the PC won't move, but I'm just old fasioned...

No reason for using wireless apart from the fact you don't need to run any wires

Drill a hole trhough the floor

I guess in a normal house wireless is quite usefull cos you don't have to fuck about...

I only think my way because our house was only recently built and has network cableing and cat 5 plugs on every phone socket... Sorry

Is it actually that tight? My PCI wireless card is tiny...

You can get ethernet wireless recievers, we use them at home for one of our print servers...
