Looking at IP addresses
You can click “StartRun and type command.com” to open a dos window on both laptops.
Type “ipconfig” at the DOS prompt, and the system will display the IP address which was issued to it…

The access point will give the “Remote PC” an IP address over the wired Ethernet connection
The access point will issue the “WISM+ Host PC” an IP address after the WISM+ in bridge mode joins the
wireless network.
Create a large file (maybe a hundred Mega-Bytes) and place it in the shared folder.
On the opposite PC, use Windows Explorer and navigate to view the shared folder on the other PC.
Drag and drop the large file from the remote shared drive to the desktop and time the network file transfer.
Now compute the throughput of the system by multiplying the size of the file (in bytes) times 8 (bits per byte)
and then dividing by the transfer time in seconds.
This test uses 802.11g/b and TCP stack on the PCs, performing network level retries and guaranteeing the
file delivery.
