Hey, question.

I'm pretty sure this isn't possible, but the less I have to buy, the better.

Is it at all possible to have one computer hooked up directly to the modem, and the other hooked up through the router?

Edit: All right, all right, all right. Unless you can guarantee me a new modem if it blows up the old one, I'm forgetting this insane idea.

I also lack any instinct that tells me distances. I can do millimeters when it's something small, vaguely, and anything else is beyond me. Gets embarrassing sometimes.

By the way, this post would have made more sense if I read my friends-list chronologically instead of backwards, but eh. It is a lot cheaper to buy a couple ethernet cords than a wireless card, though. It's funny to me in a way, too, because we have so many ethernet cords lying around the place that it strikes me as unusual to have to go out and buy one. Benefit of living with a nutso computer nerd. =D

I can always take any spare ethernet cords you have no mor euse fore hint hint hinty hinty beg.

This is what happens when I can't see the text appear as I type. Sowwee.

We do have envelopes if you want one, but our spares aren't the really long ones; Derek says they're short-ish.
