After a couple of vast phone bills I'm going broadband. I'm having
problems getting it set up due to my Acorn browser not talking properly t=

the router, but that's not my question.
I've got phone sockets in every room - two in some - and I didn't take
particular care when installing the cable. And this computer is on the
very last socket on the chain. Rather than provide filters everywhere, I'=
d
like to put the router in the cellar where the line comes in, with just
the one filter before it, then run Cat5 to both the computers up the side
of the house. Anything wrong with this plan?

What about buying a wireless access point (to plug in to the router in=20
the cellar) and using wireless network cards. More expensive that CAT5,=20
and potentially slower, but easier to install.

Filters are only a couple of quid, though, so why not get a bunch of=20
those? In fact, http://www.ebuyer.com/ has them for =A30.99 ex. VAT.
