Hi,

To anyone that can shed some light for me.

I have a desktop pc connected to a cable modem via a usb connection. my desktop has no ethnet connection option. It's pretty old. But the modem does have an ethernet port.

I recently bought a laptop with built in wireless and a Linksys wirless router.

First I thought I'd just check it wired via ethernet. So I plug the ethernet cable straight from my modem to my laptop, and it doesn't work, until I unplug the usb in the modem. Then it worked.....So......

then I unplugged the ethernet from my laptop and put it into my wireless router. So far so good, everything says it's connected and fine, but I can't access the internet???

Any ideas?

Remember I can't plug an ethernet into my desktop.
