USB Connection Problems with DLink Router

[#1]

Hulls, hope I'm not hijacking your thread but like you I was also sent the D-Link 2640B.
The router works as I can connect via wifi to my laptop.  I can't connect via my desktop.  I don't have an ethernet connection so had to buy a USB to LAN adaptor.  Loaded the software but can't get it to work.  Any ideas please?
Also does the Thompson router connect via USB?
Can a mod please move this if it clashes with Hull's post.

Sorry, no, the Thomson TG585v7 is ethernet or WiFi.

Hi Artmo.  Would it be easier to get a USB wireless adapter (I can't recommend the Belkin one - see my other thread)

Get a cheap wireless card or a network card

I don't necessarily suggest from Scan as their shipping costs are a bit high

Thanks Oldjim I'll have a look at this.
Hulls, I think this is what I've already got and can't get to work.

Problem solved.  After failing to get 2 USB-LAN adapters to work I bought a cheap PCI network card from Maplins as recommended by Oldjim and everything is now working fine. The card was part number ZT32K http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=31868  Even better I am now connecting at 6.1Mb
Thanks to all for the advice.
