Wireless With AOL

If it is a wireless ADSL router, then as well as network ports, the router will have an ADSL connection. Simply plug your phone line into the back of the wireless router, and set this up to work with your ADSL.

You can then remove your BT modem, and connect as many machines as you like to the wireless router, and all will now hve access to the broadband!

Yes, you can set your computer up to be the connection.
You will need to set up your computer as a proxy server.

Tell us what OS you are using and Timber can probably talk you through it pretty quick.

Parados, can you tell me how can i set up my computer as a proxy server please?

Regards,

I had the same problem with the supplied BT modem.
Basically it's rubbish.
Get rid of it and get the Voyager 200. That's a modem/router.
It has a network socket on it.
They might do other ones that also have network sockets on them but I'm not current with the latest BT hardware.
I had to pay for the V200 by the way. The robbing bastards wouldn't give it to me as part of the package.

So you plug the BT box into the phone socket and then plug the wireless router into it with a network cable.
Then configure the wireless cards in the machines you want to use and you're good to go.

You don't need to set your PC up as a proxy server.

To set up XP to let other computers access the internet, try following the directions here.
