Ive got (now) a simple USB one port ADSL Modem that runs into my computer to give me Broadband internet.

Is there anyway i can connect my computer to a wireless router ive also got so it can share my internet connection with other computers/devices (Its got 4 LAN ports and an ethernet port - The wireless router). If it is possible... how is it done?

Help A.S.A.P. is appeciated - I know theres some people who can answer my question while laughing

Cheers!

Do you have a wireless receiver? And can the modem use Wi-Fi?

I wouldnt have thought the modem could use wi-fi, but yes i do have one wireless reciever that id be using for the 2nd computer, hence my problem!

First you need to connect your adsl modem to your router via an ethernet cable (to the routers WAN port). This wont be possible if your modem is USB only so i recommend checking that out first

Nah, the ADSL Modem is USB only

doh sorry mate

I may have missed something here, infact, I'm sure I have, but why can't you directly connect up the machines via ethernet cable?

Because of many reasons (Mainly the fact its f**kin out of date!):

It doesnt have an ethernet port (Yes, thats right!), but instead have a lead that come straight out the back of the tower with a BT phone plug on the other end, and its also on the opposite side of my mansion (:/).

Ah, I see.

If only every computer was like my computer, just plug in and play, simple! lol

Anyways, not to worry anymore, ill get it sussed one way or another, hopefully a replacement wireless modem will do the trick... well i can hope anyway.

Cheers!
