like a wireless connection, then you need a pci card for wireless. theres nothing to change except that

What setup do you have now? Do you just have your computer hooked up to your DSL modem? Or do you have a router?
To get wireless, you need two things: you need a wireless router connected to your DSL modem, and you need a wireless card in each PC or laptop that you want to access the internet wirelessly. |

Does each computer really have a router? Could you describe exactly what you have plugged into what? It's odd that each computer would have a router; only one router is needed to share internet access between many computers.

hmm...thats wierd. im not home right now, so i dont know whats plugged into what. but at first, we only had one computer...so we had the one router. then when my brother got a computer in his room, he bought a router, which is in the room with the other computer (not his) and he just connected through that. now that i think of it, it is kinda weird cuz there were two routers at one computer, and none in his room..?!? but i dont know what there plugged too...not right now at least...

When you can tell us exactly what is plugged into what - exact model numbers, please - post back and we will look at it.
