Modem connects to the router but otherwise, yes.
Or is that two PCs plus a laptop plus the car = 4 computers?
Either way card for each, plus the router.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=44997&item=5771744730&rd=1
will it connect to a PC with a modem connected or connect to the modem itself?
i DONT want one where u need to have a pc one that is connected to the net to access the net on any other pc
make sense?
