My existing modem is USB but there seems to be a problem with the USB connection on my comp. I have an Intel (R) Pro/100VE Network Connection Ethernet card fitted (it came with the comp). I would like to fit a Netgear DG834G wireless modem/router through the ethernet connection can it be done? and how . If it can be done do I have to keep the original modem running after set up of Netgear and then delete the software for original modem. Please Please HELP. My comp is the one that rymes with Hell --- so trying to get info is a nightmare. However we learn from our mistakes. The ISP is TalkTalk and the modem is a Thomson Speedtouch.

Disconnect your Speedtouch completely.
Connect the Netgear to your broadband and to your ethernet connection on your laptop. Open a browser and type 192.168.0.1. Assuming this is the first time you have used the Netgear a wizard will run and automatically detect all the relevant settings. You'll just need to enter your TalkTalk username and password to get the router to logon to the broadband service.
You can then consign the Speedtouch to the bin.

You will not need the ISP modem after you install a router.
connect yourself to the Router, login in to it's GUI interface (management page) configure your internet connection, choose PPoA or PPPoE (PPPoA works for most) , enter the Full user name such as "user_name@isp.domain" so that BT would know how to direct you, place your password and save.
Since you are using an Ethernet card, all should be simple from here on, no more having to dial out via a modem, just open your browser, it will tell the router that you want to connect, and the router will do the dialling for you.
It's also a lot safer to be behind a router on a private network than on a USB modem directly on the web and open for attacks.
I have configured many of these for users on Talk Talk so far :-)
If you need more info, contact me or place another question, but it should be a piece of cake to connect yourself.
Good luck :-)
