At the moment I have a Belkin modem (with wireless G router - all-in-one jobby) connected to a PC using an ethernet networking cable, with another PC connected using a wireless USB adapter.
It's connected to the phone line using an extension and I think this is causing the connection to drop. I'd like to plug the modem/router straight into the phone socket and what I'd like to know is if it's possible to continue networking and sharing the broadband connection between the 2 PC's if I keep it connected directly into the phone socket but instead of using an ethernet cable, use 2 USB adapters instead...or does one PC always have to be connected using an ethernet cable, meaning I'll have to invest in a longer cable?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
