Just purchased a Wireless-G base station MN-700, and I
can get internet connection through my Laptop, but no
connection thru my desktop. I thought the point of this
product was to have multiple computers on one internet
connection? And if this is a wireless setup, why does it
not work unless you use ethernet wiring? Just curious.

Is your wired computer on the network?

on the wired computer, if you type ipconfig /all at the command prompt, what
is the ip address assigned to your ethernet connection?
