How do I change my Broadband connection from Ethernet to USB?

My BT Broadband connection was originally set up to connect to the internet using an Ethernet connection. However, as I want to try out online gaming on my Xbox 360, it seems I need to connect the Xbox up using my routers ethernet port (the router is a BT Voyager 205, which only has two ports, 1 ethernet and 1 USB). Therefore, in order to play online, it seems I'll have to connect the router to the computer via the USB port.

Does anyone have any idea how to do this? I've tried just swapping the cables over and hoping for the best, but it seems I need to do something more technical unfortunately!!

Can I store this permanently onto my computer?

For a USB connection you need a driver. This should be on the CD that came with the router, or else you can probably download it from the manufacturer's website.

Just follow instruction, it is so easy that even I managed it.
