Hi Guys
I just got my DSL hooked up and the modem only has one network port and my
PC only has one.
I want to hook up another PC in a different room in my house to the internet
to.
If i did a wireless thing what all do i need to get to set this up.
Running XP on both machines.
The machines are about 30 ft apart.
thanks.

Of course you don't have to buy Linksys equipment, but this is a good

You need to get a wireless Broadband router and a wireless PCI card.. you
can hardwire the computer nearest where the telephone connection is..

I use a D-Link Di-624 router and have one of the four computer hooked up via
a DWL-G520 PCI card..

Setup is simple enough..

I can run my whifes pc on wireless and still hook up my xbox on the router.
