    I have an NTL broadband connection and would like to know exactly what I would need to network another computer to it.
    I know that I need some sort of router and adapter (preferably wireless) or network cards but I don't know what kind and I don't know how to set them up.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    your going to have to do some pricing on this. cost of 1 pci wireless netcard(for other computer if cable modem is attached to your computer), a wireless router(d-link 605???) & cost of 1 or 2 netcards, 10 plus meters of cat 5 cable & a router(linksys or d-link or others but prefer linksys). at least a 4 port router
