It depends on the use.  If it is going to be used for LAN, with multimedia interactions, the future network would be fiber.  If u look at the cost factor and flexibility in laying the cable, copper CAT-5 would be a cheaper and optimum solution.  But there may be limitations in multimedia communications.

The easiest, quickest, way is with a router* and two ethernet patch cables. That is if you are connected with ADSL or CABLE modem.\n\nIf you are connected to the internet via dialup your best option is a modem for each computer and take turns. There is a dialup** router but a dialup speeds it will be painful. You will still need 2 ethernet patch cables but you will also need an external modem***\n\nThrid option is to use a ethernet crossover cable and ICS (Start>Program>Accessiores>Communications>Network Setup Wizard) in windows to allow the Computer #2 to access the dialup connection of computer #1.\n\nThree options.

Any model will work, it is just a standard cable connection, the router will have a setup wizard, just set it up to be a cable connection, not pppoe, plug in the computer and away you go...

For this, your best bet is a router. This device allows you to:\nA)Share a broadband internet connection\nB) Create a local area network (LAN) or basically connect computers. \nC) Share files, printers, etc. \nAre you using computers in the same room or all the way across the house? If you are using them in the same room, your best bet is a wired router, like the Linksys BEFSR41. However, if the two computers are spread out you would do better to have a wireless router hardwired (connected via ethernet connection) to one computer and install a wireless card in the other computer. I suggest the WRT54G as I have one myself and it works beautifully, as well as having the security features that I need. I sincerely hope this helps!

A wireless router is your answer; however - be careful when purchasing as there are two types - and you need the one that is compatiable with Telewest Cable; (I know, as I have bought one - thankfully I got the right one first time!)\n\nI got mine from PC World, and the make is Belkin

What is your budget?\n\nI generally setup networks with a Cisco PIX and then have a separate switch for each subnet.  \n\nIf you need something a bit more affordable, check out the Linksys RV042 and make sure it has the latest firmware.

1.) If you have a NIC in each PC, you can use a crossover cable.\n2.) If you have a NIC in each PC, you can use a switch (D-Link Dss+5 cost around $20). Use 2 cat5e cables and you are set. If you have later more PCs, you can hook them up as well.\n3.) LapLink or something like it works with a USB cable or a (Null Modem) parallel cable.

About Wired LANs\n\nWired LANs use Ethernet cables and network adapters. Although two computers can be directly wired to each other using an Ethernet crossover cable, wired LANs generally also require central devices like hubs, switches, or routers to accommodate more computers. \nFor dial-up connections to the Internet, the computer hosting the modem must run Internet Connection Sharing or similar software to share the connection with all other computers on the LAN. Broadband routers allow easier sharing of cable modem or DSL Internet connections, plus they often include built-in firewall support. \n\nInstallation\nEthernet cables must be run from each computer to another computer or to the central device. It can be time-consuming and difficult to run cables under the floor or through walls, especially when computers sit in different rooms. Some newer homes are pre-wired with CAT5 cable, greatly simplifying the cabling process and minimizing unsightly cable runs. \nThe correct cabling configuration for a wired LAN varies depending on the mix of devices, the type of Internet connection, and whether internal or external modems are used. However, none of these options pose any more difficulty than, for example, wiring a home theater system. \n\nAfter hardware installation, the remaining steps in configuring either wired or wireless LANs do not differ much. Both rely on standard Internet Protocol and network operating system configuration options. Laptops and other portable devices often enjoy greater mobility in wireless home network installations (at least for as long as their batteries allow). \n\nCost\nEthernet cables, hubs and switches are very inexpensive. Some connection sharing software packages, like ICS, are free; some cost a nominal fee. Broadband routers cost more, but these are optional components of a wired LAN, and their higher cost is offset by the benefit of easier installation and built-in security features. \nReliability\nEthernet cables, hubs and switches are extremely reliable, mainly because manufacturers have been continually improving Ethernet technology over several decades. Loose cables likely remain the single most common and annoying source of failure in a wired network. When installing a wired LAN or moving any of the components later, be sure to carefully check the cable connections. \nBroadband routers have also suffered from some reliability problems in the past. Unlike other Ethernet gear, these products are relatively new, multi-function devices. Broadband routers have matured over the past several years and their reliability has improved greatly. \n\nPerformance\nWired LANs offer superior performance. Traditional Ethernet connections offer only 10 Mbps bandwidth, but 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet technology costs little more and is readily available. Although 100 Mbps represents a theoretical maximum performance never really achieved in practice, Fast Ethernet should be sufficient for home file sharing, gaming, and high-speed Internet access for many years into the future. \nWired LANs utilizing hubs can suffer performance slowdown if computers heavily utilize the network simultaneously. Use Ethernet switches instead of hubs to avoid this problem; a switch costs little more than a hub. \n\nSecurity\nFor any wired LAN connected to the Internet, firewalls are the primary security consideration. Wired Ethernet hubs and switches do not support firewalls. However, firewall software products like ZoneAlarm can be installed on the computers themselves. Broadband routers offer equivalent firewall capability built into the device, configurable through its own software.\n\nAbout Wireless LANs\nPopular WLAN technologies all follow one of the three main Wi-Fi communication standards. The benefits of wireless networking depend on the standard employed: \n802.11b was the first standard to be widely used in WLANs. \nThe 802.11a standard is faster but more expensive than 802.11b; 802.11a is more commonly found in busi

When you use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer to a hub, switch or router, you use what's called an MDI (straight through) cable.\n\nIn order to connect one computer to another directly, you must use an Ehternet cable with a different pinout called an MDI-X (cross over) cable.\n\nThe reason for this is because your computer is a "terminal" device.  It transmits data on a specific wire and expects to receive data on a specific other wire.  Then you connect it to a "host" device and it expects same thing, but on the opposite wires.\n\nFor more information, see the article on Ehternet on howstuffworks.com\n\nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/ethernet.htm

That's a pretty vague question.  I'll give a little of what I know.  The "Categories" of ethernet cables are standards that dictate a bunch of things about the construction and manufacturing of the bulk cable and connectors.  Generally speaking, you don't need Cat6 cable unless you are running a gigabit Ethernet connection.  I recommend you stick with Cat5e in all other situations, just cause it is cheaper.\n\nIf you are running the cable through a wall, I recommend you get solid center conductor cable instead of stranded.  Solid is easier to punch down on the patch panel.\n\nOnce you get to the patch panel, follow the color code for EIA/TIA 568 B wiring unless you know that the cable is wired to the A standard, which is kinda rare.  Punch the wires down firmly, using a 110 punch down tool.  If you are using a tool that has ratchet power, I recommend using the lowest setting so you don't accidentally damage the panel.\n\nI've attached a link to a tutorial that my company has on its web site.  Hopefully that will help you.

Your question isn't clear...  if you're looking for just a cable with an RJ45 (Ethernet) connector on one end and a USB connector on the other... you'll have a long search (I'm sure there is some exotic application which includes just such a thing, but not in the "mainstream")\n\nYou can, however, get USB-compatible devices, which will act as wired or wireless network interface, if that's what you mean?\n\nAnywhere that you would go for over-the counter networking gear will have them. I've been out of the UK for a number of years, so I can't give you a list...  "Staples" is a name that comes to mind...\n\nDrop me a line if I can be of further assistance.
