At my bro's house, theres a really old desktop (windows 98) and a really old laptop (windows me). The desktop doesn't have an ethernet port, so it is hooked up the the modem via usb. The laptop has a wireless pci card in it, and we tried to get it to work last night, to no avail.

The cable modem is connected to the desktop computer via usb and the router via the ethernet port. Is this going to work at all, or did we not set it up correctly? The router and pci card are linksys 'b' btw.
