help with wireless b/band

I have VIRGIN wireless broadband with a Huwai e220 modem. It is connected to
my Windows Vista Ultimate desktop PC via USB. I also have a small network
comprising 1 x Linux Mandriva PC, 1 x Linux Mint PC, and an old desktop
without g/card, monitor, mouse or k/board that I use to store files.
My problem is that whenever I connect to the internet I lose my network.
When I try to change the settings in the "network and sharing centre" i can
get my network but no internet!
I hav etried every possible combination of settings that i can do without
being able to have both.
The strange ting is that sometimes when I connect it all works for about 3
minutes then it falls over!
I have no hair left! can someone please help me?

Hi
I am Not familiar with Huwai e220 modem. however some of the Wireless
Internet provider have an arrangement that does Not allow sharing the
connection.
Make sure that your does.
Assuming that you are using Windows Native ICS, use live search looking for
a term like Vista ICS and Linux.
General ICS instructions for Vista here,
