    Cool Wired Home Network question?

    I want to set up second computer in another room using the same internet connection. We currently have DSL & one computer with a single modem. What do I need to acomplish this? Do I need a router? Will Verizon provide one? Any help will be much appreciated.

    A router with a build in modem will be the best solution. There are routers with 4 ports and you just need to buy another network cable to connect your second computer to the router.

    Yes a router would be the best way..

    Wireless if you dont want wires all around your house.. (If your planning to get wireless, you also need to by a wireless adapter reciever, and remember to set up some sort of wireless security, you dont want people to park outside your hose and use your internet for free)
