this is how I connect things in my house

Cable modem -> connected to Wifi router -> connected directly to my desktop pc + wireless enabled for all other devices -> eveything pics up wirless.

The other thing I can do once I have picked up the connection for example on my laptop....I can then turn it into a access point or media server, in which case my laptop uses the wireless connection to host its files to any device that can pick it up (like my ps3), so i can play music and videos from my laptop..on the ps3 by streaming it off the laptop using the wireless connection. Woooo....that was a long sentence. Big question...does it make any sense?

well i bought that router because i know how to use cisco routers and yes i did by it 200 quid for one of them is about 200 pound less than shop price.

As i did try to explain before i tried the ICS etc etc and got no joy removed bridge everything but it kept putting it back.

as i tried to make clear before i have CISCO cert`s just when i done them and networking there was no wifi so im a bit rusty with them BUT not stupid as most seem to think.

any way i have a router now and all is good also found out the problem with the card it was badly made driver for windows (as under linux everything is fine) have informed manufacture and they will have a fix soon
