RE: connecting to internet

Do you have a modem or a Router to connect your 2 computers?
You say modem, but a lot of people don't know the difference.

If you have a router you normaly have 4 Ethernet connections, and can use a
Cat5 cable for both comps.
With a modem, you only get you only get 1 cable, and 1 USB connection
