I have got a wireless 108mbs netgear router. and with 108mbs netgear wireless cards installed in two computers. the network works fine, can ping each other share files etc.

however now the only way to use my dail up connection (from one pc) is to disable the wireless connection to the router (and network) thenit works perfectly.

now after that long thing id like to ask two things
1. is there any way to acess the internet from one computer without disabling the network and
2. share this internet connection over the two computers

nb using 'ad hoc' connection as opposed to 'infastructure' solves this problem and allows a shared internet connection. however i wish to add a laptop to this network later so i need it in infastructure mode

You can add a laptop to your current setup and you don't need to disable any part of your LAN to access dial-up. All you need to do is run a telephone/modem cable from your modem to the telephone connection on the filter that plugs into your telephone jack socket. The basic rule is that DSL/routers/LAN are digital and your dial-up modem is analogue.
Hope that helps.
