I have a wireless network in my house which connects to my office from downstairs. I have a vonage box and need to connect it in my office. Is there a way to configure the wired ethernet card to connect to the vonage box and supply it the needed internet access? (Keep in mind the wireless network card is providing network access to this computer) If so how? (Win XP)

Yeah.. Its verymuch possible. You can have a wired computer and a wireless computer accessing the internet at the same time. Ensure that the initial router(Vonage or other) has the capability to share the internet.

You will need to connect the Vonage box to the lan, in other words to the router or switch. If you try to run it from the pc it will suffer losses due to the wireless, it will slow the pc considerably, and you will need to set up bridging or routing on the pc itself.

Read the installation instructions that came with the Vonage device.
