Yes use either a pcmcia wires or wireless or infact a usb key type all will do the same job though the pcmcia ones are less suseptable to getting knocked out. If all computers are close then you'll be fine they have depending on your location a range up to 200m

Still it does not harm to get it in before hand because you can get your network set up and tested.
Thanks for the help. I have purchased the router (Here is the site: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatSecti...tion_Id=201576
) but NTL have decided they cant install in our street. I am getting Tiscali in but the BT line is in one of the laptop guys rooms.

Therefore, he will use a patch cable to connect directly to the router and I will use a PCi card on my Dell PC. I hope to report on whether the connection is good next week.
