Help with NTL and wireless

    I seek advice. I've been all over these boards and this morning all over the city of Dublin seeking answers in anticipation of getting NTL bband installed and using a wireless connection. I'm no tech newbie but this has me all confussed. :o

    Went to to the good people of Peats and picked up a Linksys wireless router (of the model type) often mention here: WRTGS or something. Following purchase I noted that I needed win2000 or better to use this router. I currently run 98SE with no ethernet port. I took it back 15mins later and got the money back but not before the sales assistant mentioned that it does not matter what OS you use, as long as I had an ethernet port - I don't. That's that then. :confused:

    Advice from the good people at Unity around the corner put me right I think...wait for NTL to install their modem and then figure out my wireless options. Someone else here must have got NTL bband in their place and wanted to use wireless on a machine less 5 years old - my laptop is.

    One last thing....in consideration of my question, I'm switching to Mac in the next three months so this is an interim hardware solution really. Thanks.
