Finally a solution
Well guys I broke down and bought a wireless router. COMPUSA had a INternet coupon for an in store purchase of one of the COMPUSA brand of wireless routers and after discounts it came to $53 with tax's. I brought it home and played with it for about an hour and have it up and running. I did spend several anxious minutes when I completely lost my Internet connection. However rebooting the cable modem set everthing aright.
Contrary to some others posted settings mine turned out to work with these:
Work Settings
Work Settings
Work
Mode : Infrastructure
Link Rate Fully Auto
Power management to on
Use server assigned IP address
Signal strengths are excellent. I have not yet accessed my network but will work on that later in the week.
I can cruise the internet from anywhere in my house and I think that is cool. Speed is excellent.
So my cheep setup fell flat but I figure that I have about $150 tied up in the system.
Don't tell my wife....well at least give me a head start if you do.
