Wired & Wireless

We have an NTL200 modem and would like to continue having the PC wired in to BB, but would like the option of a wireless connection to the Web for the Lappy. We are running Vista Ultimate on the PC & Vista Home premium on the Lappy.

Any help or ides with this set-up would be handy!

TIA

Re: Wired & Wireless

Get yourself a wireless router, like the Linksys WRT54G. It should only cost you £30-£40. Assuming the lappy has wireless built in, that is all you need. If the lappy is not wireless ready you need to get yourself a wireless card which costs around £15.
