I have a cable modem (NTL) currently cabled (ethernet) to my laptop. I want to extend the internet connection to a desktop PC elsewhere in the house.
I have a Belkin wireless MODEM / ROUTER. To get both PC's to see the internet, how should I connect the cable modem to the wireless modem router?
The cable modem has one ethernet output (and a USB) and the wireless cable modem router has a DSL 'in' port and 4 ethernet ports. HELP

i don't think it will work since your dsl modem//router combo only has 1 rj11 WAN port and 4 rj45 port

correct me if i am wrong

Should be able to connect the "Modem" from the out port to the in port on the router... ( by "in port" I mean the WAN port) altho I could be missunderstanding what your asking?

Thanks guys,
By WAN port do you mean the modem-routers ethernet ports? or its DSL / RJ11 input?

Thanks
