First-Time Networker, where do I start?
Hi. I need a pretty simple network to share Comcast high-speed internet with two computers. One has Windows XP and the other has Windows ME.
This is what I planned to buy: One: Dlink DI-604 D-Link Express EtherNetworkTM 4-Port Ethernet Broadband Router Two: D-Link 10/100 Mb PCI Ethernet NIC Adapter w/Wake on LAN Model DFE-530TX Rent: Whatever cables modem Comcast supplies me. First of all, what type of cables do I need to buy? Second, what can I get to connect two lengths of cable if the distance between PCs is too far for just one length? Finally, is there a tutorial or could someone briefly summarize what the installation procedure is like? What do I install first? What kind of software is involved? I've never messed with routers before. I don't even know what a MAC address is. Where do I start? Thanks a lot. |
