Do you use BT? I got a networking modem for BT yesterday....you install wireless modem cards into your pci slots.....and they all read off the broadband modem, the main one.

You will need to purchase a switch, so you can connect more than 1 computer. 8 port switches are generally pretty cheap, and networks are easy to setup with them
