I have a pretty much brand new Mac Pro without wireless (I bought it refurbished at a steal of a price so Im not that annoyed!)

I have a powerbook G4 with an airport card and a time capsule (obviously wirelessly enabled)

The wireless network that I want to connect to is next door hard wired to my Dad's iMac and he is in no mind to move it into my room (even though his iMac has airport) due to the skype phone being connected in there as well.

Is there anyway I can actually connect to the network (as in not steal the internet from the powerbook via ethernet so thinks like air mouse will recognise my Mac Pro and I can connect to other computers on the network?)

Is there some way to get the time capsule to connect to the network and recognise the Mac Pro to the network or make it visible through the powerbook?

The wireless router is a Thompson free from AOL so pretty useless on features.

Thanks

Thanks
