Don't suppose you're near Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire are you?

I really don't know why you posted to uk.adverts.computer - it is off
topic (VERY) for that group.

The obvious place is uk.telecom.broadband, and perhaps
alt.internet.providers.uk.

FU's set.

Get one of these Draytek 2600G wireless ADSL routers:
http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/Shop...?ProductID=730
They're very nice, and they do VPN passthrough.

Then order from one of these options from Eclipse (my ISP):
http://www.eclipse.net.uk/index.cfm?...entialservices
(512k = £59 setup, £23.95 inc. monthly, can burst to 1MB temporarily)

Wireless ADSL router: £170.36 delivered
Whichever cheap wireless PCMCIA/USB/PCI wireless cards: £dunno - look
through the http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/ web site.

You can use these as ethernet-to-wireless bridges for anything that only
has an ethernet connection:

That might be a start for you.

It probably does....the point is that uk.telecom.broadband is the most
apposite group, and uk.adverts.computer most certainly is not.
