Speedtouch wireless

Hi there, i'm struggling with my wireless settings. I've just bought
a ps3 and want to get it online. I have broadband but the dial up
type rather than an always on connection. the modem i have is the
standard speedtouch which i can't connect to my router.

I had a similar setup in my old flat where my housemate connected to
the net through his laptop which had the modem, and i connected to him
wirelessly.

Basically my pc has the modem in the current case and i need to share
the connection wirelessly with the ps3. i've got it working but i'm
sure there myust be a better method as it makes the connecon and the
pc very unstable. I basically have the modem in a usb port, i've
hooked an ethernet cable up from the pc to the router's wan socket.
i've then got a bridge between the wireless and Lan connections.

Is there a more straightforward method i could use without purchasing
an adsl modem and router package?

Router (wired or wireless) with a USB port for your modem.

Why WAN socket? If you'r using the PC as an internet gateway, all the
in-house PCs should be on the LAN side of the router. Ignore the WAN
port, since you can't plug it into your modem.

Find a router than can plug into a USB modem?
