I have what will probably sound like a newbie question.

What do I need to connect to the 'net with the wifi card and the NZ90? Do I need to setup my comptuer at home to do soemthing, can I connect to the net while I am away from it, etc.?

Is there a good place to read about this?

TIA

1. You'll need to download the driver patches and the Mobile Manager app + config tool form SonyStyle's support area (presuming you're in the US, other countries have their own support sites).

2. You need another Wi-Fi device to connect to. Usually this is a Wi-Fi base station or Wi-Fi Router. Your NZ90 will communicate with the basestation, which would be connected to a network. You can also do 'ad-hoc' networking, which is when you have two Wi-Fi enabled devices connect to each other, instead of to a base station. (Say the NZ90 connecting directly to a Wi-Fi enabled laptop.)

Wi-Fi (802.11b) has a range of roughly 300 feet from a base station to the device communicating with it.
