BenH is an unknown quantity at this point
A router generally looks like a box similar to your cable modem, with one input from the modem and 2/4/8/16/32+ outputs that can go to any other PC.

As for the cable _NO_ ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!! just to make that clear. Cat 5 carries 100BaseT on pins 1&2 for transmit +&- and 3&6 for recieve +&- for a patch cable. Pin 8 is gnd and the others are used for 1000baseT.

Regards,

Ben
