[ILUG] Need help setting up wireless router with Ubuntu desktop pc

[John Kinsella]

Hi.
I have a Zyxel modem for broadband access - obviously connected to phone 
circuit via a filter at one end and to desktop pc via cable to network 
port at other.

This machine is dual  boot: Ubuntu "Hardy Heron". and Win XP for games...

Just bought a Belkin Wireless G router to allow daughter to access the 
internet via her new (Win Vista :-( ) laptop.

The installation required rejigging cables so that the topology is phone 
system=modem=router=pc.

All works fine when WinXP is booted on the desktop pc. daughter can 
access internet wirelessly and desktop pc can still access internet.

When I reboot desktop pc to linux, not unreasonably, the network access 
is lost and the desktop pc has no internet access.

No surprise as obviously linux network settings need to be changed.

I've Googled and looked on Ubuntu help pages and not found much help on 
this.

Can anyone advise?

Thanks

John
