Go to www.netgear.com or www.linksys.com and look for DSL/Cable Routers w/ built in switch. There are several models to choose from. Don't get overly concerned about complexity, most of these devices come preconfigured and have good installation instruction. What you will do is connect the router to the DSL/cable modem and your two pcs to the router. You will also need to purchase two CAT5 patch cables to connect the PCs to the router. -- Rob "MC" <mc_huge@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:UO548.9779$tg4.119906@vixen.cso.uiuc.edu... > Hi, > > > > I have cable modem service in my apartment.
