Online Connection help

[ForceOn3]

I am new so I'm not exactly sure how helpful this is going to be but here it goes....

just recently purchased a Broadband Adaptor for my Gamecube. i have a Hunter's Licence and my ISP is Aol with Broadband. I hook up my adaptor with my computer and try to connect but the attempt fails everytime. The computer I am connecting with has a wireless connection with my computer downstairs. Does that mean I have to connect with my computer downstairs or not? And suppose i am going all of this correctly. Will PSO connect automatically if I am signed on my ISP or do I have to do another special task to conect PSO?

please help me I am getting more and more frusterated with this every day and I cant seem to find a site with detailed instructions about the problem I am having.

I dont have cable but I have roadrunner?

You hook up your adapter with your PC? Okay.

Does your modem/router.whatever have an ethernet slot, and do you have an ethernet cable? I know you said "I dont have cable but I have roadrunner?" but I'm just ensuring. You shouldn't need to use a PC for this atall, unless I'm very mistaken. Also, AOL sucks, but you can ignore me there.
