I have a wifi connection to my computer
It is like this
-gri antenna to lmr cable to pigtail then to gold card in a slot
The slot is on a pci card in the back of my computer
My question is:
How can I connect a router or hub so I can use this connection to network to
another computer?
Preferably a wireless router

You need a wireless router. It is possible to have a complete home network
using wireless. Your dealer can help you with how to get the details of
this, if he is a good one.

Do a Google search in how to set up a wireless home network. There is a lot
of information out there.

Have you got a wireless router? Have you read the instruction book for
it? Has the other computer also got a wireless card built in or installed
or attached to it somehow? Are all those things built to use the same
technology standard? ("802.11g" or "802.11b" are the normal standards for
home and small office stuff, at present).

If you have two computers both equipped with compatible wireless
equipment, you may be able to set up an "ad hoc" network between them
without using any sort of router. The operating system(s) will probably
have tools for that, or instructions, or both.

You may need to connect one of your computers temporarily to the wireless
router using an ethernet cable ("cat 5" or better - that's a measure of
the characteristics of the actual cable, not a connection type) to get the
initial configuration of the router done. After that you can use wireless
connections throughout your network, if you want to. Some wireless
routers may exist that can be set up from scratch via a wireless
connection, but that is an inherently insecure arrangement so it isn't a
good idea.

Ethernet cards for PCI slots are pretty cheap these days. Laptops
generally have an ethernet card built in.

I don't what a "gold card" is, but if you mean a PCI wireless adaptor
then you can do this: (assuming you also have a hardwired network
adaptor)

Go to Network Connections in the control panel and highlight both
adaptors. Right click and select "bridge connections". Your
hardwired port will now be able to connect another computer to the
network the WiFi is on (with a crossover cable) otherwise plug it into
a switch.

I think you have the right idea G.Morgan
My internet connection is to a wlan through the grid antenna
Would I be able to connect a wireless router to the 10/100 plug and make my
own network

Thanks

Sure, plug the jack from your PC into the WAN jack of the router. Make
sure you have no IP conflicts on the LAN and configure the router to
the DNS of the ISP ( or a public one ). Also make sure the connected
PC's are using your router for the gateway.
