Push the smaller end to the cable through the hole, not the larger,!

Hi George.
I was actually thinking of that, but bringing the cable through a wall. The
problem is that the hole would need to be quite large to take the usb or
Inthernet plug. None of my masonry drills are large enough to bore such a
hole.
I've got both computers together again George and both are plugged into my
Router. The only thing is, is that I've still to get Pauline to assist me
set up NOD 32 on the second computer. I think I'm better doing this firstly
eh?
Best wishes.
Andy
