Need help with wireless/wired setup

Feb 5th, 2007

I have to admit i'm not real good with the wireless networking stuff, but i think my setup is pretty simple, though i can't get it to work...
I have my Mac hardwired to my cable modem and it works fine. I have a wireless router (motorola) that's not connected to anything yet, but i want to use it to send a signal to another pc in the house without breaking the hard connection to the mac (i don't want to buy an airport since i have the wireless router already!). Now, there are 4 connections on the router, so I figured that I could use one for the mac then just have the router do its wireless thing. What am I missing here?
To sum up what I want:
Cable-->cable modem-->wireless router-->hard connection to mac AND wireless signal to other comps

thanks for the help, cuz i feel dumb

p.s. I don't have the drivers or literature for the wireless modem, so I need a way to change/get the password for the wireless connections...
