Solve : trying to setup home network?

Answer»
I have tried to figure this out on my own but I am only getting more confused. I have a computer downstairs that has internet from the cable company. I would like to setup my 2nd computer upstairs to get on the internet through a wireless hookup. I need to know EXACTLY what I need to hook up to do this.
I have some hardware that someone gave me but I don't know if I have everything I need.
I have 2 Linksys wireless USB network adapters 802.11b
I have a Belkin router. I have a Netgear access point 802.11b. I have a Netgear 4 port 10/100mbps Dual speed hub and tons of cords. All of this was in a box...there is more in there but this is what I thought I needed...but everytime I think I have it figured out I read something different  on another website.  
What I really need is just a list of EVERY component I will need to do this. I will try to take it from there.
Please help?!!!
AmyI think a router + 1 adapter for the computer is all you need ot make this WORK. The router goes between the cable modem and the main computer, so TWO cat5E ethernet cables here. The USB adapter goes to the upstairs computer so it can see the router. B equipment is fine for your purpose. YOu don'y need anything FANCIER (or faster) for internet access.

Do you have a driver CD for the USB adapter? If not there will be one on the manufacturer's web site. The fact that they are different manufacturers has no bearing.Thank you very much! Yes, I have the driver cd. The adapters were still in the boxes.
