The modem is the BT Voyager 205.. if it is connected to your computer via a
USB cable, remove it, and use a CAT5 ethernet patch cable between the modem
and the wireless broadband router, and then another patch cable between your
computer and the wireless router..

You will most likely have to run your ISP connection software again if the
modem was originally connected by USB..

I have Dimension 5100 running XP. Current internt connection is BT
broadband
using Voyager 205 ADSL. Both my sons have wireless enabled lap tops and
have
bought Linksys wireless WRT54GS which needs to be connected between modem
and
PC. So here's the question - where's the modem? Currently tel line goes
into Voyager and from there to back of PC (via Ethernet). The linksys has
no
input for tel line so how do I route the the cables? As ever grateful for
advice.
