| Just double checking before I wire my house. I set up my ps2 at one end of
| the house by my tv, and the modem by my comp. at the other end of the house.
| I am going to run an ethernet wire through the cieleng and wall, then put the
| ethernet jack into the wall (like a phone jack), so that basically, I have an
| ethernet jack, that I can plug into with my ps2. Then I will buy a router.
| Now what do I do with the other end of the ethernet wire (the one closer to
| the modem) The only other thing I know is that I have to put a short ethernet
| wire between my ps2 (the ethernet port on it) and the ethernet jack on the
| wall close by. Also, I'm not sure what to do with the router.. Any help would
| be greatly appreciated. thank you.
Your ISP is Bell sympatico but I can't tell if you are DSL or Cable.
Cable or Telephone wire from ISP goes to modem. CAT5 twisted-pair Ethwernet cable goes from
modem to WAN port of Router. The computers and PS2 connect to the LAN ports of the Router.
I'll assume that you'll get a Router such as the Linksys BEFSR41 that has a 4-port
10/100MB/s Ether switch. The computers and PS2 are connected to those LAN ports. Router
settings will be dependent upon if you are on DSL or Cbale especially if is DSL using
PPPoE.
As always, I suggest blocking TCP and UDP ports 135 ~ 139 and 445 on *any* SOHO Router.
