Page 1 of Wi fi advice needed please

I am looking to buy a new desktop pc in the next month and am interested in using it to transmit Music and possibly Video to my living room via a wi fi g connection. Many of the pc`s i am looking at with this capability (i know i need a bit of kit at the living room end but that will come later) seem to be very hi spec and more expensive than i would like to spend (£900) a lot of the cheaper pc`s have everything i need but the Wi fi.
The question is:
if i want to achieve the above and share Broadband (aol) with my laptop is there a good bit of external/internal kit that i can buy and install myself. if so what are the pitfalls!?!
Thanks

as far as i know aol dont allow sharing their broadband connection
not sure it is now

cokie enjoy

AOL Allows it, but really needs specific hardware I think.
AOL Keyword: Home Networking and the Broadband message boards have shedloads of info on it.

Another proggy I used to network my LT and desktop was PPSharPro, but it stopped working after a day or two. Only allowed the networked unit to use IE couldnt have two names on at same time.

Hi,

I have 3 PC`s sharing an AOL broadband connection using standard wireless kit (belkin). The broadband connection is shared using `AnalogX Proxy` which is a free down load from www.analogx.com. This works great, but the down side is the PC with the broadband connection must be booted and connected for the other PC`c on the network to access the net.
I hoped this helped.
