I will second ( make that fourth it, I need to type faster )....getting the internal card - can't be swapped at school ... and was designed for networking - unlike the usb solution ...

If this is your PC then seems you have a free slot for the card as well - but check before you buy by having a look at the back - maybe your BIL can help.....

yes yes yes!! thats what i've got
so does that mean that this card would be my best option?

On the side of your PC you should see a side that opens (maybe it's got a clip or screw on it). Once opened you should see a few slots to slide the card into. Slide the card in..should clip into the pc one end. Then you need to run your software that came with it (software cd). As advised you need to make it secure - ie so only people in your house can use your broadband and not the neighbours as well!! Belkin software (if I remember) asks you if you want to do this when you run the software cd. It basically sets it up for you and gives you a rather long password. The first time you use it you'll need the password.
