Can I convert the BEFW11S4 to an ethernet bridge?

No. What  you need to bridge a wireless network to a wired network, for anything more than internet sharing, is an Access Point.  I'm using the WAP54G to bridge my LAN / WLAN and it works great. Wireless routers are  great for either 'wireless only' networks.  They're also perfect for setting up wireless access for customers and visitors since they make it impossible to access the wired side of the network.

TAKE A CROSS CABLE, IF ITS WINDOWS XP AND HAS A LAN CARD. CONFIGURE LAN AND TRANSFER.\nEASIER IF U HAVE AN EXTERNALL HARD DRIVE.

There are three ways of doing it.\n\nYou can buy a hub and two cables, plug them all in and there you have it.\n\nYou can get a special crossover cable which will allow you to connect the two directly together.\n\nThe most expensive way is using a wireless router.

Go to system preferences from the Apple menu or dock and then select 'network'.  In the 'show' dialog box make sure 'active network ports' is selected and then simply put a tick in the box next to your Built-in Ethernet.  Click 'Apply' and your done ;-)

sounds like a job for a router with bridge capability to me.

nope thats not possible unless that modem supports two enthernet ports.....you will have to go with a router or unless you want to unplug one ethernet and hook it up to the other and yeah...i would buy a router it has two more firewall built in ....go with wireless G or Wireless N

I recommend you to download and run Software Information for Windows Tool from the following link :\n\nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/SIW.shtml\n\nOr\n\nhttp://www.download.com/SIW/3000-2086_4-10569778.html\n\nThis is easy to use.  \n\nAs you said that it is an Integrated VIA Ethernet controller you can download the drivers from the following URL. Refer the chipset model from this site :\n\nhttp://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=2&OSID=1&CatID=1190

You have have no other choice but to use cat5 cable. Its true that cat5 cable is lightning conductive but it'll not effect if there is no high voltage, normal 220v it will not effect much.\n\n          Second is you want to be the ICS host computer preferably off. So you have to buy a ADSL Router it costs nearly $110, or a manageble Switch that cost nearly $1200. and a normal nonmanageble switch. I think that will help you. \n     Now after you done just enable sharing.

U said - \n"Plugging the cable modem straight into a computer may work at times, but it may not."\n\nAll the rtr does is pass on the internet conection to a computer(s).If ur connection from comp itself is not working well,BEFW11S4(which is ok)is not to blame.Cable modems need to be power cycled a lot of times.\nSo i wud suggest that the moment u dont get a connection ,immediatel connect the mdm to comp and call comcast,who wud be bound to do sumthing abt then (as the rtr is not involved now)\n\nOR\nif u feel that the rtr's not working properly,,just call Linksys and get them update the firmware(they'l guide u thru it).Also u can insist on getting it replaced,on the grounds of it not working,but u gotto be adamant and make the call longer than 40 minutes.\nP.S. : yeah befw11s4 is an old rtr,,get a wrt54gsx,if possible

without a hub or a switch you would need a crossover cable availible anywhere. if you get a hub or a switch you can use two patch cables. make sure they both belong to the same workgroup and you should be good to go

You could try a standard linksys (or any oter brand) hub with 4 ports.  You can pick one up for about $20.  It will depend on your cable company and if they allow multiple connections at one time.  If they don't, you can get a standard ethernet router for about $29 or $39 with 4 ports.  It will act as a single entry point to the cable modem and look like one PC.  If you get one with wireless, it will cost a bit more.\n\nYou might want to check your cable company documentation or ask them what would work with their equipment.\n\nGood Luck!

Well since this question is under networking do you mean like Serial, fastethernet, ethernet, BRI, dailer, interfaces?\nthen of course there are different types of serial interfaces and such do you need those because unfortunetly I do not know WAN products that much.\n\nIf you clairfy your question a little bit more I am sure one of will be able to provide the right answer.

AN RJ45 Connector can be connected directy into the port of a switch and LAN Card!

you just need an ethernet network card in each pc and just connect with a crossover cable...........all cheap stuff........10-15 quid the lot          try this        http://www.homenethelp.com/web/diagram/crossover.asp
