i'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to wireless networking. i'm having trouble setting up my network as recommended by microsoft, (using my XP machine as the broadband entry point then branching off to a router)...and THAT is my problem.....how do i get the broadband connection (cable modem) from the XP machine into the wireless router? It's not like there is an outgoing LAN port on the pc. The only thing i can think of is to hook the modem to the pc using the USB connection and then trying to go from the LAN port to the router. I'm not sure if this will work. I know i should just try it and find out, but my desk is very big and heavy and i have to get behind it to run the necessary cables and...ok..you caught me...the root reason is laziness...lol...BUT..i'm willing to go through it all if i know it will work. (unless of course someone has a better plan than that one)
Thank you in advance
