    Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 1501 with a 15 pin VGA video output and a 1/8" banana jack sound/headphone, output from the sound card. I want to hook up to my HDTV (Westinghouse LCD 40") to watch tv from the internet, and have read a couple of different approaches to the connections. Will straight VGA to VGA work in this situation?
    Thanks for any help.
    Oh, and what would I need to do this directly from my wireless router to the tv if possible?
    Aain, thanks for any help on the matter.

    I am doing this with a Linksys E3000 Wireless N Router that is hook up to my Sony 46 HDTV. I have have the laptop connected with a Netopia Router and the TV is Connected with the Linksys router because it can simultaneus perfore dual band 2.4 for the tv and 5GHz for my Video Phone it was very easy through Linksys videos on their website. Hope this helps
