I Have Two Computers And A Laptop.
The New Computer (Bought Nearly 2 Years Now) Has A Router Installed; Like This One:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-Access-Router-4-Port-802-11g/dp/B00008DOYO
So That I Can Get Internet Connection On My Laptop Which Was Bought 3 Months Ago, And It's Working Fine.
Now What I Want To Ask Is, I Have A Old Computer (Probably 10 Years Old With Windows XP Version 2002 Installed) And I Want To Get Internet On It, What I Want To Ask Is, How Do I Get Internet On It?
If I need To Buy A Wireless USB Adaptor, Can You Please Tell Me What's The Best One That Will Connect To Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router

is it a desktop you want it for? you can get a wireless card that you fit into the computer
or the usb adapter but i would get the card incase your usb dnt support it.

Your old computer probably has USB1.0 on it, which is too slow to run a wireless adaptor. You need USB2.0. If you have this, any make of adaptor will do.

Ya, u need a wireless card. If you just want broadband, u could plug it into a phone jack i suppose.

Opinions vary from techie to techie. As long as its a name brand one you will be fine. Belkin, Netgear, Linksys, etc all Big names are fine. just make sure it supports your type of wireless which is G.
