What is the BEST way to hook up a new tablet pc to my high speed internet? I CURRENTLY have  an Hp desktop, i don't want to disconnect my ethernet cable from the BACK of my Hp every time i want to communicate with my tablet. Thanks, BobSo, your desktop computer is normally connected to a broadband modem, right?  A wireless router would allow you to use both computers on the Internet at the same time and give you wireless CAPABILITY for the tablet PC.  I have this:  D-Link DWL-922 IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless G Kit,Wireless Router DI-524&USB Adapter DWL-G122 - Retail.  However, as some of the reviews at newegg.com say, the wireless adapter, the DWL-G122, does not have good range.  So, if your tablet is going to usually be, say, in another room, you should probably have a better wireless adpater for your laptop.  For more wireless routers sold by newegg.com (only ships to U.S. and Puerto Rico), see Wireless RoutersI don't necessarily need for it to be a wireless setup. What are my options,best , way to set up if it is not wireless? I don't need to use them at the same time, just need to communicate with the tablet twice a day.    bobWell, again, the router is ONE option, whether you're connecting by wire or wirelessly.  With a router, either computer can access the Internet without the other computer being on.

Another option for two computers is to set up Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), using a Category 5 crossover cable to connect the tablet PC to your desktop computer, which would be the host computer and which must be turned on in order for the tablet PC to have an Internet connection.  Here's a good reference: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/ics_xp
