I've got a RAZR V3m phone, and the instructions offer very little in the way of telling you how to transfer files from the computer to the phone.

How can I connect a USB wifi adapter to a router? I connect to the internet with a USB adapter to a local hotspot. I'd like to use a router I have in the house that only has one input and it's ethernet. How on earth can I use the two together? The router btw is wireless. The router has one antenna and one ethether net port. That is all. I can pick up the rotuers SSID and connet no problem. But, that doesn't get me internet, just the router setting. What i'm wondering is how I can brige the hotspot connection I get to the router so I can pick up the connection with another computer in another room. Thanks for the ebay link but I don't see it. And I don't think sotongjuice understands my problem. I can't pick up a wireless signal in the other room. That is the reason why I want to route it from where I can with the USB adapter. I don't have a wired connection coming into my house. I'm sorry this is confusing. I'm going crazy myself. Ok, I connect to a hotspot with a USB dongle. I want to connect another machine, a Wii to be exact, in another room but it can't recieve the signal from the hotspot. I was wondering if there was a way to use the wireless router I have, which only has one input and that is ethernet, to somehow extend the signal to the other room? I have no way of plugging my USB adapter into the router. Can the router plug into the ethernet port on my computer and transmit what is being received via the USB dongle? Thank you guys so much. Is this even possible?

Can I get my computer to recognize my mp3 player if it is plugged into the mouse/kb port via a usb adapter? My computer's standard usb ports are right next to the power cord and there is no room for my mp3 player to plug in. I have an adapter which changes the port on the side of my computer into usb from what I think is a ps2 port (it has a little pic of a kb and mouse next to it). I plug my mp3 player into this and it will charge it, but the computer does not recognize it at all. I used to just take out the power cord and use the comps battery while I transferred music but the battery went dead so the system shuts down if I unplug it. Is there anyway around this problem? It is a presario 2100 laptop. My mp3 player is a dell dj ditty. Thanks very much for your time.
