This Thursday, I am having cable/broadband internet
access set up on my MSN TV 2. I have had
high speed internet set up on it before, no
problems, it was wonderful. However, I also have a
wireless capable laptop that I would like to
share the high speed connection of the MSNtv with
over a wireless connection. I also have a Linksys
wireless router from a previous connection. Due to
restrictions in my family, the primary connection can
not be hooked up on the laptop, it has to
be on the msn tv. This causes a problem.
My question is, first off, is it possible to
have a primary cable internet connection (its Adelphia
if that helps) on the MSN TV and hook up
the wireless router to the MSN TV or the cable
modem to project a signal that I can connect to
with my laptop? I would assume some configuring
will be needed as well, and if need be I can
connect my laptop directly to the cable modem
using an ethernet cable for a short period to do
so, but this can not be permanent.
Secondly, I'd like to know if there is anyway I
could have the router plugged in (hidden) somewhere
else in the house, not connected to the cable
modem streaming into the MSN TV and not connected
to the laptop, but still projecting a signal from
the MSN TV to my laptop? If this can be
done, do I have to purchase a wifi USB adapter
to connect to the MSN TV? Basically, I dont
want it to be known that I have internet access
on the laptop. How can I do this?
Please reply, I would appreciate any advice or
ideas greatly!
