I need some basic step by step help setting up my home network. I was going to setup an ad-hoc network, but my laptop (supplied by my employer) would not be able to connect to the network at work if I did. The pieces of equipment I am using are;

An HP 7590n desktop running XP Media 2005 with;
Integrated 10/100Base-T network interface; high-speed 56K fax modem;
Wireless LAN 802.11 b/g.

A Bell Sympatico DSL connection using PPPoE.

A Netgear Router;
Netgear / WGR614 / 54Mbps / 802.11g / 4-Port / Cable/DSL / Wireless Router

A Vonage VOIP module.

The real issue I am having is when I begin to set it up, it finds the Tbase network interface, as well as the 2 other devices, and I am unsure which one I need to select as my wireless access point.
How I want the network setup;

Phone to DSL.
DSL to Vonage (VOIP).
VOIP to Netgear router.
--wireless--
Setup desktop PC as a client.
<<THIS IS ULTIMATELY NOT REQUIRED, BUT NICE>>
Setup laptop PC as a client. <<REQUIRED>>

Any help on this would be appreciated. Want to get this done!

Thanks.:)

You should first read the manual that comes with the Netgear router. It tells you how to setup the router as an access point and how to connect PCs to it. If you do not have the manual you can download it from the Netgear website.
