wireless networking?

Help! I have a VGC-M1 and a VGC-V2M and would like to wireless network the two computers together so that the 2 computers can use broadband at the same time. The VGC-M1 has the DSL connection. Am completely bemused by jargon and don't know best way to do this. Can anyone help please -

Hi wormy and welcome to the forum.

Basically you need a Wireless ADSL Gateway (modem and router combined) and a wireless PCMCIA card.
Something along the lines of
this and this for the wireless card.
Your incoming DSL is plugged into the line in port (WAN) and you connect this to your VGC-M1 with an Ethernet cable (supplied with Gateway). The wireless card is plugged into the PCMCIA socket of your VCG-V2M.
That is it in a nutshell, apart from configuration. But if you so wished you could go wireless with both computers with the addition of a second wireless card to the M1.
