Ok,

I have a cable modem coming in. Currently I plug it's Ethernet into my Airport Base station (graphite) and everything works great .. Now a windows machine enters ... (isn't this always where the trouble starts ...)

Anyways I originally tried to install an 802.11 card on the windows box to get it on the net but it never worked (my thinking is it's bad hardware cause it didn't work on three separate boxes) so now I'm thinking of hooking it up to Ethernet which it does have.

Can I buy a router and hook it up to the cable modem to split the connection with the PC and the base station.

Cable Modem
--> Router
----> PC via Ethernet
----> Airport Base Station -> Powerbook

Will this work? Suggestions? Costs?
