Now this is where I am stuck, my router is on the ground floor of the house and can't be moved as that is where the telephone point is. I normally access the internet on this machine via a Netgear WG111T Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter for which there are no kexts that I (and it seems plenty of other people ) can find. So to get Internet access I am plugging that adapter into an XP laptop and trying to use an Ethernet cable from this into the tower running Leopard. And try as I might I get no further than seeing the connection being recognised.
Could somebody spare me a little time and let me know what I need to do do get this working ?
from me and everybody near me…

Thanks for the reply, at the moment I have got the dreaded WG111T plugged into the XP slaptop and have a working Internet connection on it. ICS is also enabled. After that,as you have already sussed I'm in the dark as to what steps I should take next, having never dealt with anything like this before…Any help you can offer will be greatfully and greedily accepted so please let me know what more info I can provide.
Thanks again
Arferguinness.

It would probably help if you told us what you've tried so far.
I assume you've enabled Internet Connection Sharing on the XP machine?
Can you ping the XP machine? by address or name
Well, try pinging the XP machine. Start by opening a command prompt in XP, from the Start menu select run, then in the window that opens type
cmd
and hit enter, that should open a terminal for you, now type
ipconfig
to get the hostname and ip address for the XP machine. In OS X either use a terminal or Network Utility to ping those. From a terminal you can do
ping -c 5 www.google.comreplace www.google.com ↗ with the ip address first and then the hostname.
Post back the results.
