    Wireless network card???

    Is it possible to establish wireless network (server-desktop PC and two clients -two laptops) with adsl modem, WAP, but without wireless network card in server.

    I'm not exactly sure I understand your setup. If I understand you correctly each computer you want to be part of a wireless network will need a wireless network card installed.

    For the laptops to communicate wirelessly with the server they are going to need a wireless receiver within or attached to the server.

    If your wireless network includes a wireless access point or wireless router and the server is connected to that device by a cable, the wireless devices will be able to see the server.

    In other words, the attached diagram will work -- the laptops can communicate with the server.

    You might have the DSL modem, switch and WAP all in one combination device; that will work too.
