This belongs in Tech Support. Anyway, I remember Rich_T saying something about a wireless adaptor that you can use for that type of setup. You could also just use ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) which would be a cheaper route to go.

I found what I was looking for, its called a Wireless Ethernet Bridge. They are fairly pricey ($100 and up) so I still say you should go with ICS.

No there is no wireless one. But it doesn't matter because there are other alternatives. BTW Steal, what OS are you using?

You may have missed my editted post. What you would need is a Wireless Ethernet Bridge (which generally start at $100 and up.) So as I mentioned earlier, it would be alot less expensive to use ICS. The OS is your Operating System (ie. Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, MAC OSX, Linux etc.)

I found one for $70, but you also have to buy the GC BBA Modem (and extra $35, which does put you at over 100 though :-/).

It would be best to either move your Modem and your Router, or the GC so that you only have to buy an ethernet cable.

you can get some long lengths of ethernet cable, it may take a while to set up, but its somwhat cheaper than wireless.
all you need to do is run the cable through the wall cavitys on your house ( requires making a few holes)
or of you have a wireless router, and its conected on a DSL line, locate the nearest phone socket to your gamecube, and plug the router in there, they usualy have some ethernet outputs as well as the wireless bit.
