I have recently moved into a house with a Virgin Media (NTL) cable box. The box has USB and ethernet sockets and is currently connected to an old PC via the USB connection.
I tried plugging my laptop into the ethernet port but it wouldn't connect. I have since been told that you cannot have both the USB and ethernet connections in use at the same time. True...? (haven't had a chance to test it).
Assuming I can get the ethernet port working in the cable box, what is the simplest way of making the thing wireless? I'm assuming a simple wireless router, I presume my DG834G is useless as this is a modem router...?
Thanks in advance.
