I want to string an ethernet cable from the the internet cafe on the first floor to the 4th floor condo I am renting. Will the connection be affected by the lenght? I cant use wireless, it needs to connect my Vonage phone and 1 or 2 computers. The internet cafe has a 256K connection.

I live in an apartment with 3 other roommates where all of us are connected to the internet through a wireless router. I also have a desktop and laptop computer, both with wireless adapters.

How can I setup just my two computers on a network so I can share files between them, and still stay connected to the internet, and without my roommates able to hop onto my network?

I thought they were the same thing- I have an ethernet hub-can i successfully plug in two computers and have internet access with both? Or do I need a router or what?

There are 4 other computers sharing my internet connection. I want to use VPN for my computer only. Can that be possible?

There was a network connection between the two computers before the desktop crashed. They are both using Windows XP. After the desktop crashed, a new hard drive was installed. Help and/or detailed instructions with advice on how to network my desktop and laptop again would be greatly appreciated.

My computers are all successfully sharing a dsl internet connection via a wireless router. But I can’t figure out how to get them to see each other on a file sharing network, What am I missing? No single computer can see any other computers, but they can all use the dsl connection. What gives? I’ve networked the old fashioned way before so what am I missing?
