My V+ is in my living room. My Internet connection is upstairs. I have it wireless too for my laptop and other hand held devices. i have however brought my desktop home and hooked it up to the tv. It is not wireless and i want the internet on it as well. I have tried the Dongle way but it is too slow. Does anyone know if i can run the net through my V+ box? Or if anyone knows of a Virgin engineer who can possibly split the cable for me downstairs so i can still have my modem and tv (downstairs desk top pc) on at the same time?

Looks like this thread was posted the day before the resolved one was so should have been closed or deleted to save on confusion. Still, kept me busy for ten minutes.
