I need to hook up a computer without built-in wireless to the DSL router(already configured and supplying internet to 2 other computers). I only had experience with high-speed cable routers/network cards, not DSL. Is there any fundamental differences i should know about or i can just buy any G compatible network adapter(like linksys), install the driver software and i'm good to go?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

So you don't give enough to allow a good answer, dude. Is the router wireless? If so, what SORT of wireless? What sort of computer are you connecting? Desktop? Notebook? Linux server?
I take it you have a wireless router??
If no, get one..
Then get a wireless card for your computer and laptop.. These are first two or one steps, depending if you already have a wireless router or access point.. Then post back for more instruction..

Levex said:yeah its a wireless G router, dont remember the brand, but the wireless adapters for other 2 computers are USB linksys G. And its a windows desktop.
For a desktop I'd go either USB or internal. If you're just surfing (not gaming) then USB will be fine and it's pretty easy and trouble free. Otherwise go to newegg.com and find an internal G adaptor.
The a/b/g variants are pretty standarized across brands so no worries, just get one with good reviews.
