| Couple of questions. First, how can your wireless adapter be connected to the DSL modem via cable? Most laptops include a wireless NIC, and an onboard ethernet port (i.e. two NIC's). Second - which router? The documentation for your router should explain how to use it's wireless capabilities. Note that it's important to set up security on a router. I'd recommend WPA2, use Wireless MAC filtering, and after everything's configured, disable the Wireless SSID Broadcast. ---------------------------------------------- Work is for people who don't know how to surf Gateway Performance 700C - P4 1.8gz, 1gig RAM, ATi Radeon 9550; SB Audigy SE; Windows Vista Business, Photoshop CS3, Nikon D200 |
