No LAN Port on PC - How do I set up Wireless on an existing Broadband account ?

Hi I have been completely dumb but please bear with me !! I have an
existing Broadband (Zyxel) account that gets to my PC via USB from a
modem router.
I have bought a Belkin Wireless G+ mimo modem router and a USB
Wireless adapter. The problem is that to set the modem router up it
needs to be connected to the PC via a cable going to the Lan (on the
PC) which doesn't exist.
My question (plea): can I configure this manually and if so would
somebody to be kind enough to let me know as plainly as possible how
to do it. I need to get this working as the option to replace the
purchase is problematic as I live miles from the store.
Big Thanks In Advance for any help offered....

It would be very rare to not have an ethernet adapter. Make sure that this
is really true. I am sceptical. If that is true,...then buy one. USB is
the worst choice but is better than nothing. Once the Belkin is configured
you won't use it and should leave it disconnected.

Hi
May be you want to describe in general what you are planning to do.
You have a PC getting the Internet for a Modem/Router? What do you need the
Belkin for?
In any case, any Wireless Router would need to be connected first with cable
in order to set it correctly.
So as posted above, look carefully for a wired LAN plug at the back of your
computer (It is also called Ethernet, or RJ-45).
If you are sure that there is No LAN output, and you do not want to open
your computer and install one, you can buy this, connect it to the USB and
get a Ethernet wire connection to the Wireless Router.

El.Plates-

I have exactly the same problem and have spent hours on the phone to Tiscali
(India) and Belkin (India) who struggle to understand English and vice versa.
I am now told that despite having an Ethernet connection in the rear of my PC
that I have attached to the router recently purchased that because only ADSL
Modem and not a Lan is displayed under: Control Panel > 'Internet
Connections' that I need to take my PC to the Manufacturer/a repair shop?? Is
there a simpler solution than this??
