That would be on the external modems only though right?. i cant imagine a internal modem having a usb slot, lol.

no. they dont. I dont know if you can connect a Wii to the regular USB on a computer itself, you might be able to bridge teh connection in Network connection. My advice would be to get a wireless router, because if you evef get a laptop, you can use the wireless.

Like this?:

eBay.co.uk: BT VOYAGER 2100 WIRELESS ADSL MODEM ROUTER ETHERNET 11G (item 160070420080 end time 12-Jan-07 18:15:00 GMT)

There is one thing i dont realyl understand though, and thats how my computer connects to the router wirelessly...does it use some sort of usb device? (like the bluetooth dongles).

It says on that site that: "So if you have a computer that you want wireless, you simply install a wireless adapter (very simple) and it becomes the receiver (telephone handset) and you are wireless" but under the "whats in the box" heading there doesn't appear to be any of these adapters* included.

(sorry about the text colour change btw, heh, dunno how to change it back to default)

ok, that is different. you have a phone modem correct? ok. i havent tried this personally, but what you should do is, if you want a wireless internet, first connect the DSL or phone cable to your computer to the onboard modem, (to use a phone not through the computer, get a splitter that turns 1 into 2. then, go to an electronics store like best buy, and buy the wireless adapter. only buy it, if the store offers paid installation and setup like hte geek squad. itw worth it. have them set it up, so that it connects to your computer via ethernet or USB, and have them bridge the connection between the DSL/phone modem and the one to the wireless router.
