Re: home network

For simplicity's sake, disconnect the ADSL router modem from the desktop USB
port and replace the connection with a USB wireless adapter, or use a PCI
wireless adapter if you prefer. I don't know if both ports on the modem can
be used at the same time but I somehow doubt it since the quickstart guide
makes a point of describing hookup to either one or the other.

Have DHCP and DNS pass-through enabled on the modem-router. Configure the
Windows networking wizard to connect both computers to each other and the
DSL wirelessly through the WAP.
