Greetings all,
I've got a fun one for you. I've got linksys wireless g access point router. I've also got 3 computer running in a seperate computer lab. These computers are all older machines that have usb ports, but not enough room to have both PS/2 devices and a usb wireless adapter. In addition, one PC is a Red Hat box (which I'm too lazy to configure a wireless adapter on), so I'd really like an ethernet cable going to it. My question is...Can I have a wireless receiver accept the signal from my wireless router, and trasfer it to a 4-port hub - so I can branch off 3 ethernet cables to my 3 computers? If so, what devices would you recommend? Information on the devices in the network are listed below.

Windows XP Pro
Pentium 3 900Mhz
256 MB Ram
40 GB HD
