cables leads and a tangle!

Hello gurus'

I have a desktop and a lappy and have networked them (amazingly!) and it works well.

I have however stumbled over a minor technical glitch ref the lappy accessing the internet.

The desktop is connected to broadband via the mighty phoneline, thru' a NetComm NB5 modem router.

The Lappy and desktop are networked thru' a Netgear router.

When I set up the network a few months ago, I could access the internet from the lappy, however I was having problems accessing the internet from the desktop after shutting down, and getting a dial up connection window on the lappy from time to time as well.

After speaking with the ISP, leads were changed around and it fixed the drama with the desktop etc .. I now find I can't for the life of me make head or tail of which or what should be where and when, so I can access the lappy when hubby is occupied at night playing silly bloody games on the desktop!

Seeing as how I'm a female now over 40 and formerly a blonde, could someone please, in words of 2 letters of less, tell me which lead goes from which bit into the other bit, so that the bits will do their thing?!

Absolutely no point in talking to the man of this house - he isn't technically minded at all!!

Ta much ..
