You need at least 1 router and as many pci cards as you have pcs which dont already have one.

yeh, ok. What does the 'WN4201B' part mean though, on the pci cad already installed on my PC, do I need a router that is the same as that code or something?

No, that code is just an indentifier for the manufacturer.

ok, may go ahead and order one, see if I can get it to work on my PC with he built in cards, then if that works, order 2 other pci cards. Is there a difference when setting up the router from using the router on one pc than on 3, or do I just run the network wizard set up on all 3 pc's?

ok. Also forgot to add, is it possible to home network with 1 of the pc's connected via a wired modem into a phone socket, and with 1 of the others linked upto a router into another phone socket, considering if I had 2 sets of micro filters? Just trying to save money as 1 of the desktop pc's is right next to a phone socket, i don't really needto be spending 330 on a card for that 1.

No you cant, you can only have 1 adsl modem on a line at any one time.

What about if I linked an ethernet wire from the pc to the adsl router, and had the other 2 wireless, could i home network then?
