I hid some ethernet cable behind floor moldings and its a tad short to where I want to keep my router now...

so i am either thinking of cutting open the cable and adding an extension. or use a coupler.

what I mean by quality is, will my gigabit cable turn into slow shit that wont be able to handle streaming 720p to my main rig?

While this may seem like a chore to a lot of people, if you're comfortable recording shows from DVR to VCR and you'd prefer to stick with that.

If you want to connect a device to a wireless network with a minimum of effort, a wireless Ethernet bridge like the Linksys Instant Wireless Ethernet Bridge WET11 is probably the quickest and easiest way to do it. ...

Hi,

I freshly installed Vista 64 bits on a laptop, and got the wireless working so I can connect to the internet.
I also have an older desktop running XP SP2 (wire connected), and notice that the network connection is much, much faster. So I wanted to check if connecting via wire would solve the issue; but somehow the wire connection doesn't get to the internet. When I check via "IPCONFIG" I see that the router didn't assign an IP address to the ethernet card, even after trying IPCONFIG /RENEW.
Any ideas? Or is it impossible to have both wireless & wired connection at the same time? (Although I already tried to deactivate the wireless without success). Otherwise, my original problem of slow internet connection doesn't make much sense, because internet speed is typically lower than my 54 Mbps wireless speed so I doubt that even if the wired connection would work, my speed would go up.
(Already tried to revert to XP, but it doesn't install on my brand new laptop, probably because of lack of drivers).

Thanks for any help
