Dear All, I have a cable-based (not optic) modem/router to connect to the Internet (ADSL), which works fine. However, a friend comes in from time to time, bringing her laptop. Is there some cheap and easy way of letting her laptop to connect to Internet? Unfortunately, I cannot see any place in the modem/router to connect an extra cable... Thanks in advance, Paul
Do you have a router installed, or are you connecting your computer directly to the DSL modem? The two are usually separate devices, with the router sitting between the modem and the computer. Routers generally have at least 4 network jacks. The one I use at home is a wireless router as well, which is much more convenient for laptops. -- -sultan. --------- There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't. --------- www.blackle.com
