Hello All I am finally upgrading from dial up to DSL, woot woot. My wife has a wireless lap top with a built in 802.11g network card. The DSL modem uses USB. My idea was to use Windows Internet Connection Sharing and a NIC to share the connection to a wire and wireless router / hub (I can't remember the difference something about OSI network levels?). That way my wife can share my connection. Can I do that? Would that work? I know you don't need a static IP for Windows ICS, it runs some sort of server on the PC. |

what you really need to do is. use ethernet cables not usb. you will replace the usb cable from the dsl modem, and use a ethernet cable. plug that cable into the WAN port of a cable/dsl wireless router. plug the wired computer into port 1 on the router. and the wireless system will be wireless i use linksys wrt54g routers for home use |
