Sorry, but I'm not sure I understand your setup or what you are trying to do.

First, you have a high-speed modem (DSL, Cable or else) with an ethernet plug right is that right?

Do you have a wired/wireless router?

When you plug this modem in the laptop, it works, but not on the PC?

You bought a wireless network card for what purpose?
