Re: Moving cable modem
You need a router (to plug into your SACM via CAT5) and a PCI / PCMCIA card preferably from the same manufacturer, for each PC you want to network...
There are several sets- but 802.11g is the best VFM- Linksys, Belkin etc all do them...
Also make sure the antennas on your PC aren't in the back with all the wiring as this will mess up your performance...
