This is a standard Telewest broadband set-up on a Windows XP Pro machine.
The connection to the broadband unit is via a USB cable.

I've got a Belkin wireless router (F5D7231uk4P) and wondered if I could
leave the USB connection to the main PC in place and connect the router to
the Telewest modem whatsit with the network cable to enable wireless through
the rest of the house?

Cheers.

No Blueyonder/ Telewest only allow one conection from the cable modem
,either USB or Ethernet . In your case use Ethernet only
CM to router then Ethernet and wireless to the rest of your PCs
That is my set up, using the same router as you have

(I'm a whizz with sdtandalone machines, but I hate networking...)

I managed to connect the router without any problems, and the wired
connection to the PC is producing a steady internet connection.
However, when I try to connect to the wireless network, I get a message
on the remote laptop saying that the connection has run into problems
and there is limited functionality because "The network did not assign
a network address to the router".

This is Greek to me, so if nayone would be kind enough to make some
suggestions, I'd be very grateful!
