    Doesn't the SB5100 have an ethernet connection to?? iirc, i had one of those at uni, just plug the network connection in, and set the network card to use DHCP, and there you have it, broadband works a dream... though you may also need to setup DNS servers manually, but apart from that should work no problems

    That should work no problems... i haven't had a problem with my SiS 900 based car what so ever.

    If you have more computers on the network however, you will need another card that u can route the internet connection to the internal network, if it's standalone, this wont be a problem at all though
