Wireless Network

Hi all

i have a belkin wireless card, i also have a wireless router too. Problem is that i only have a usb modem for my broadband, so i cannot connect the modem to the router then use it. what i was wondering was if i could use internet connection sharing from my ethernet port to the wireless router and access the internet through this? HELP!!

    Basically no.

    To do internet sharing it has to be accessed from the computer where the modem is connected to.

    What you need is another wireless card/dongle to fit into the computer to do internet sharing or get a modem with an ethernet connection to connect to your router.

    If it's new, take it back and buy a wireless modem router which will make your life much easier :)
