The first is that there is no socket to plug the router into on the back of my computer - there seems to be nothing even remotely like the hole that i need for the Ethernet Networking Cable - Its wireless you don't plug it in your computer.

And secondly it says "connect the telephone cord from the wall jack providing ADSL service to the 'DSL' line port on the rear of the router. But I have NTL broadband and that doesnt use a wall jack becuase it is all cables!   - That means you have Cable not DSL hence the reason you can't plug it in, different type of broadband

were you ment to say something?

The very first part of the instruction manual says - "Connect your computer to one of the "Connections to your computer" ports on the rear of the the router by using an ethernet networking cable."

1) Surely the router need to be connected to the main computer to share the internet connection with other laptops/computers? But i cant connect it.

2) So you are saying that my router is wrong for broadband - but if i take it back, get the money back and purchase the thing you recommended will that work for broadband???

Sorry for all the questions - but im shit at this.
i need to check a couple of things, will sort it out later this eve

bob i think the only way you can do this is by having cable setup on one pc and then sharing the connect which means that if you wanna go on t'internet you will need your bros pc to be on.

cable is pants, get DSL  Cheesy
