Will this network set up work?

I have a Netgear Wireless Router, A netgear Wireless USB card and satellite internet (usb modem)

I'd like to get my other PC in the house on the internet.

Can I Run the satmodem into my USB and then from a LAN card > into the router and then from the router to the wireless card?

Would it work, or does the router have to be the first point inbetween a pc and the modem.

Thanks


Code:
[ CABLE MODEM ]

Ask a silly question, but why have you got the router there when there's nothing else connected to it?

I just bought it.

I bought it because i bought it in a certain way that saw me get it and the card for around 30 quid.

i think i'll turn dhcp off so it acts as a normal switch, that should work a charm.

I got one of those, damn nice bit of kit.

Should be easy but you've basically got the wrong bit of kit for it and need to use it as a normal switch/hub.

Basically sat modem into PC, PC into wireless switch.

You then need to create a static route to 192.168.0.0/24 to use the dhcp'ed interface. This will prolly happen automatically when the address is allocated, not sure.

You will also need to set ip forwarding on your PC (the sat connected one).

As I can barely spell PC I dunno how to set IP forwarding on one.
