The cable modem connects to your computer through either ethernet or USB.

Either way the computer is on the internet now, right?

Now you hook up an 802.11b wireless adaptor to the computer (either PCI
or USB) and set it up in ad-hoc (peer to peer, non-infrastructure, etc)
mode.

Then you use internet connection sharing software to share the existing
cable modem connection to the wireless connection.

If you are using windows 98 second edition, ME, 2000, or XP the network
setup wizard should be able to do all this for you fairly easily.

If you're using another OS then it is still possible and probably easy,
but you'll need to supply us with more information.

Alternately you can go to your local computer store and purchase a $150
broadband router with 802.11b access point and follow the instrustions
than come in the box.  This is much easier, but more expensive.

Hope this helps!
