u dont need a Hub, I use a D-Link 54g pci card in my main machine (With the modem connected to it), my laptop has a D-link 54G PCMCIA card in it, these two computers can now communicate using an Ad-Hoc (peer to peer) connection.

Then all you have to do is set up ICS (Internet connection sharing) on the main machine

Im getting a wireless router for our broadband when its set up. the benefits of this are that unlike internet connection sharing - you don't need the primary pc on as well as the secondary pc. Plus the router has build in firewall and manages the network better etc etc.

Whats the best wireless router / modem / firewall to go for? I thought the NetGear ones look nice. Are they wall mountable?

Our wireless network cards are only running at 11mbps.

I thought price-wise they were more like £125!

I take it the router connected to the pc and the Internet will allow the toehr pc to access the net i the primary pc is switched off??
