Wireless Router.. wires too???

[krott5333]

I have a cable internet connection coming into the cable modem, then going to computer A. I want both computer A, and computer B, to be able to get on the internet, under the same IP address. But I want Computer B to be able to use a wireless PCI card, and I want computer A to use a regular, wired, ethernet card. What wireless router will give me this, and is it easy to set up a single IP for both computers??

Linksys make what you will need to do both wired and wireless access. its called the Linksys BEFW11S4 ver. 2. Here is the product manual. (ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pdf/befw11s4_v2ug.pdf)
Hope this helps you.

The same External IP address or the same INTERNAL IP address? You cannot have the systems have the same internal IP adderess. (well you can, but it is going to cause errors)

I've got the Linksys mentioned above. Easy to set up. My Laptop is wireless, desktop machines are wired 'cuz it's faster.
