this ones quite simple my dad wants to network the 3 PC's in the house I've recommended Wireless now as far as i'm aware this is what i'll need 1 Wireless Router,2 wireless network cards if i'm wrong please tell me. here's the question he's also about to get broadband now can you connect a USB modem directly to the router or would it need to be connected to one of the networked PC's and then be shared accross the network? And just incase the guy selling the service don't know what he's talkig about would it make any difference if the modem has an ethernet port? ___________________________________________________________ Try the all-new Yahoo!
