Home broadband system is on an older (non-wireless) PC. New laptop has Centrino. How can I use my existing broadband that is physically connected to the old PC and 'transmit' and share it within our house?

First you will need a wireless adapters for both computers. Then you will need a wireless broadband router. You will need to make sure that all three devices(router, adapter 1, adapter 2) are the same version like 802.11a, 802,11b, or 802.11g. Then install the adapters and the router. Follow the documentation because most of the time they require you to do something special.
It's really straight forward and anyone can do it.

why not buy a 802.11G router with both wired ports and wireless broadcast?? it'd save you a lot of trouble and time and maybe even money, there are peripherals that can be added to ISA, PCI or other busesthat allow wireless broadcast, but
if they can be found, they will be as much as a broadband router...

I have an older PC on my network (Only two computers) for the older one I need to invest in a wireless adapter. I believe you can get them from your BB supplier.

particular, and particular. I too have the wrt54gs. and the wusb54g, All you will would desire to do is hook the stuff up and stick to the wizard. there shoudn't be a difficulty with vista and xp. you will would desire to configure the ip handle's. Vista machines % to place mcafee on them and you will would desire to alter your exption checklist settings.
