This laptop currently connects to the net via an NTL dial-up account which I'll probably have to uninstal.

I just wondered how easy it is to get things up and running so the upstairs lappy shares my BB connection. Do I have muck around with any 'wizards' or is it pretty straight forward.

any advice or step by step would be much appreciated.

I have a linkseys router, my lad shares my 3meg connection via the router, it was a dream to set up, if I can do it anyone can, it took about an hour and a half. The whole set up cost £70.
