Yeah, this would be the way to go. You can connect by cable or be wireless. You would still need the wireless card on your PC if it isn't built in. I have one I don't use. If you were local, you could just come and get the card for free.

I suppose this is a bit of thread jack but:

I have a new Linksys wireless router and it is maybe 30 ft from my PC. There are several walls between the router and PC. The best signal reception I get is "low". Which is really diappointing. I it a "G" protocol and 2.4 Ghz frequency. I didn't spring for the "N" for longer distances because I was only going about 30 ft. Why is my signal so weak?

Not in CO anymore but I'm not changing my name :)
