    Okay, here's what I'm thinking.

    You should be able to enable Internet Connection Sharing on the laptop.
    Then plug the wrt310n into the laptops RJ-45.
    Then connect the other computers to the wrt310n via their RJ-45's.

    What OS and service pack are you using on the laptop?

        This is an article on Microsoft's site.  It has detailed information on how to set up the Internet Connection Sharing.
        It will take you through that step flawlessly and painlessly(painless is good).
        Once you have completed that, or if you have any other questions about this step, let us know.

        Remember, this is only step 1 - take your time, my apartment is brutally hot, even with the AC running, so I won't be sleeping for a while.   :D

            That's not the adapter that you want to share.
            The adapter that you want to share is the one that has the RJ-45(looks kind of like a large phone plug) jack on it.

            Can you go into the device manager and make sure that the other network adapter is listed, and has no yellow or red flags on it?

            I'm not sure what you mean, can you rephrase that for me?

              Ok what I meant is I have the either net connection at the back of the computer and it is hooked up to the router in one of the for connections for other computers and there is one connection for internet.  I went to the device manager and this is what I see.  As you can see there is one that has a red line in it and I had to replace it with the realtech

              So you have a working ethernet card in the desktop with the um175 now?
