Right, but he didn't say what kind of broadband. It maybe cable. But if it is DSL and has ethernet on the modem, he can still put a router in there to do the PPPoE stuff. It's the PPPoA that will cause problems. But as someone else pointed out recently, there are some routers now that will even connect to some USB modems.
Thanks to all of you, I understand a bit more now.
It's the ADSL kind of broadband. I've asked my ISP, they use the PPPoE-system. And they don't use USB-modems.
So the only thing I need is a network-card and a router? Does it matter what network-card and what router I buy? Is some better than others?

I also got a PC, a Compaq Armada laptop. It has a network-card. I want to connect both computers to a router if possible.
I don't know much about this, so I got a lot to learn...
Any more comments?
