I assume one end just plugs into the NIC card on one computer, but what
happens at the computer which the modem is already connected too? I need a
cable
about 25' long to connect the 2 if that makes a difference
that sort of cable is readily available at all sorts of computer supply
places... Office depot and staples eeven have them.... or you can go to your
friendly comp shop and thye can rig one up form bulk cable at less cost than a
ready
made one...its caled a crossover cable..... what it si the cable is crossed
at the ends.... for instance on on terminal the color code would be 1-red
2-blue
3- green
4-black
5- yellow....... but on the other... it would be 1- yellow
2-black
3-green
4 blue
1- red ... now not going to swaer that is toe actual color codes but is what
it is.. just switched end for end... crossed over.......
as to all that would be needed to hook them up etc... good place for info is
Linksys.com or belkin.com.... they have soem pretty good bits about setting
up simple networks.. lot better and easier to understand than redmons stuff..
lot easier to understand...... hope it helps.....

the web and netwrok with his notebook here at the house or back at college....
