We have a BT broadband connection at work mainly for our email traffic.

Can I connect another pc to it?

If so how?

I would just like to keep my laptop online as well if its possible

You should be able to do that easily. Look around at computer stores for a cable/dsl broadband router, or something to that effect. They'll have one line for your cable modem to connect to and most have at least a 4-port 10/100 switch for computers. Here in the states they list for about $129.00US for a router with wireless.

Hope this helps ya.

I guess the current connection is via a USB 'fish' ADSL modem straight into the back of a PC.

You could just replace this or get something like the Vigor 2200 which lets you plug the USB modem into it:

This has a 4 port hub built in, so very quick easy to share the ADSL with other machines that have a network card installed.

All depends on the current connection that you have in the office.

Is it terminated into USB or Ethernet?
