the internal card stopped working awhile back so now I use a netgear wireless adapter connected to it for internet access..was trying to bridge that with the lan port so could use that to feed the internet to my CW700 dingle via ethernet cable

share your lan with a wireless router then you can use a regular ethernet cable i am sharing my dial up with a router and now i got a wireless over a dialup network if you got 2 lan cards installed you could run the internet in to your computer through 1 lan and share that with the other lan
