Router Question

So, I recently bought a wireless router. Right? Right.
I have it all hooked up, so nothing to worry about there. My question, is, though, how do I get it to share the internet connection with another compuyter? If I can't do it with a wireless router, what do I need?

You can either run ethernet cables to both computers (though that kinda defeats the wireless part), or you can buy a network card or USB adapter.

If you tell me the brand I can find you a couple items.

Either one will work. The first is an internal card, the second is an external USB adapter. If you're using it in a linux box, I personally suggest the internal card because from my experience it's much easier to install.

Heh, thanks. I'm hooking this up to a Linux machine and most likely would've gotten the USB one. =p
