I just got a Verizon wireless usb broadband card... I'm wondering if there's anyway to share the connection to the other computers in my house... I know i can set up a computer to stay on at all times and share it that way. But i was wondering if there's an adapter or something to connect it directly to my router and share it via that way. Thank you in advance...

I'm not sure if you can have two wireless connections open at once, I think you can. If you can, use another wireless adapter to connect to your router (assuming the router's wireless of course) then setup internet connection sharing from the current adapter to the new one. (Right click properties on the relevant connection in network connections to setup ICS - only activates when you have a connection you can share to, so make sure the new adapter's working first).
If you can't use two wireless connections, then you'll have to use a network cable to share the connection to other PCs.
