I recently switched ISPs and now plug my internet connection directly into my router instead of going through a modem. The modem that I had was a wireless modem that I used in conjunction with my pocket Pc and home network so that I could browse the web through my pocket pc and through our home computers. The modem has an ethernet port that I was using to connect to our router wich is connected to three computers. Long story short, now that I am not using this modem to get internet service, is there a way to use its wireless capabilities to use my new internet service with my pocket pc? If I plug the modem into our router and then connect to it with my pocket PC I can see the other computers on the network, but no internet connection. Thanks in advance!

I'm using a Linksys wireless router along with a Linksys switch.

Cable to modem, modem to wireless router, router to switch.

With several desktops, hard wired, two Axim's wireless, two laptops wireless, all access the server as well as the internet.

I am trying to go from ethernet cable to switch, switch to computer, switch to wireless modem (this part works fine). The wireless modem that I am using is not actually the one that I am using to get my internet service, but I would like to use it for its wireless capabilities. I can use it for getting onto my network and transfer information to and from the computers on my network, but is there a way in which I can use it to browse the internet? I have a picture of my setup that would make it much clearer, but I don't have a website to host the picture off of, and am not sure how to upload it to the aximsite server.
