If I went half way across the country e.g UK and got connected, surely the person/company that is providing that wireless internet has nothing to do with my tiscali account at home. So I guess I'm wondering whether or not I would need to have two internet providers. One for home and one for the internet wireless.

How can I change my wireless internet connection to an Ethernet connection using my computer? I use a wireless card to connect my desktop to the internet. I Also want to connect my ps2 in the same room to the internet. The router is to far away for it to be practical running a lan cable from it to the ps2. I am currently able to get one of my ps2 games online using ics on Windows XP and an extra lan card on the desktop but the other 2 games won't work. I know ics is not ideal for this and even with the Windows firewall off most of the ports the games use are blocked. My question is are there any programs that will fix this or better yet is there any boot disc that I can start my computer with (something linux based) that will make my computer a pass through using my wireless card and lan card? Then when I'm done pop the disk out, reboot, and start windows normally? Both cards are Realtek based, the wireless is an rtl8180 and the lan is a rtl8139c. Any ideas? I ment something Linux based that works like the Knoppix live cd. I can pop in it when I boot, maybe save the settings for it on one of my hard drives or a floppy or pen drive. Then when I'm done gaming, remove the disk and restart the computer. I know there is some firewall software like this but I don't know it it supports wireless cards.
