Here is my scenario:

We have a network of 10 computers and a server all connected to a
switch using ethernet.
The current connection to the Internet is 64k ISDN.
Cable modem and DSL are not available at this location.64K....ouch!







I found a reasonably priced 'wireless' network provider and a signal is
available.
I would like to connect the output of this modem to the input of a
wireless router.
The next step would be to add USB based wireless adapters to some of
the workstations so that they can obtain faster access to the Internet.
In other words, 10 computers and the servers would be one network and
maybe 6 of the 10 would be wireless on another. These wireless
connections would only need to share the Internet connection but not
printers or other resources within their network.

Is it possible to configure Internet Explorer on just these 6 computers
to use the wireless connection (and not the wired) to access the
Internet. The other 4 computers would still use the wired connection
thru the switch? How would I accomplish this?I don't know the purpose of having the wireless on some workstations.
Wireless is ALWAYS slower than wired, especially when you have more than
one wireless client on an access point. Why spend the money on the USB
devices ?

How is the ISDN line connected now ? To the switch ? With a router ?
These servers, are they domain controller, or just file servers with
mapped drives ?

The short answer (not knowing your full network configuration)is all you
would need to do is connect the new WISP device to the switch, and then
change the default gateway on the machines you want to use the WISP to
the IP of the WISP device. It can be on the same network as everything
else.

It's all in the default gateway setting.

The output of the ISDN modem is the input to a hub. One of outputs of
the hub is input to a PC (required because of an applcation) and the
other is input to a SBS server (domain controller). The other NIC in
the server is input to a 24 port switch.
The reason for the USB wireless is because I did not think that the
switch could have 2 input Internet connections at dissimiliar speeds
(64k ISDN and 3 Mb wireless).
