Hi everyone
My g/f's parents have an old ntl:home 120 broadband modem that is connected to their PC (also old!) via USB. It all works fine but we need to add wireless capability. I've got a basic Belkin 54G wireless router that I was going to use but I'm not sure if/how this can be set up.

The 120 modem does have an Ethernet connection on the back, but the PC does not - it only has USB connection. Is it possible to use this configuration? Or would I have to install a network card into the PC in order for it to work?

I've tried hooking up the router to the Ethernet port on the modem, but to no avail. The modem and wireless lights on the router are lit up, but the internet light is not. I guess I somehow need to connect to the router to configure it, but I'm not sure how to do this given that the PC is connected to the modem via USB.

So basically the config is:

modem---(USB)-----> PC
|
---------(RJ45)-----> Belkin router

Not sure if that makes much sense, but any ideas/help would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks very much
