Thank you for clarifying that Kitty. I didn't realize that was how that worked at the cable company. Truth to tell, it wasn't an option for me so I didn't really pay that much attention to it.

There is another possibility that no one else has mentioned. How about networking the computers thru the electrical outlets. I know I have seen adapters that plug into an existing electric outlet and then the Cat5 cable plugs into that and then into the computer. The network uses the existing house wiring to network the computers.

That would eliminate the necessity of running a conduit from the outback to the house and then having to run the cables from there to where the computers are located. So, any electrical outlet in your home could be a connection point.
