May I start by declaring that I am a 'wireless newbie'.

I am considering buying a new DELL PC with their wireless equipt. option;
i.e. a Belkin F5D7632 ADSL MODEM/ROUTER (802.11g) and a Truemobile 1450
wireless USB Adapter- I presume this will kit out my new PC to work with my
existing ADSL connection!.

I have an existing DELL PC which will become my second PC which I want to
have networked wirelessly to my new PC to make use of the ADSL connection
and also share files between each PC.

What do I need in my existing PC (USB is ver.1.1 and I have a fitted
internal network adapter) to achieve this; and will my PC's be secure from
the ouside world?

Are the Dell wireless equipt. OK?

Thanks John.

Here is a website for reading up on networking and how to set it up

On that older Dell with only USB 1.1 I would not buy a Wireless USB Adaptor.
You will need to buy a wireless PCI card...............

Thats just an example but they usually are less bothersome to set up if they
are the same brand as the router

It's so much easier to suggest solutions when you don't know too much about
the problem
