A cable modem is a broadband modem, in fact there is no broadband modem as its either a cable modem or a ADSL modem. Hes asking advice on how to wire up his connection.

How is a cable modem too slow? my (not very impressive) BT adsl 512Kb/s is a lot slower than my parents' 1Mb/s cable modem...

I know wot ya prob is, its the cable modem, Microsoft suggest that you use a broadband modem as a cable modem is to slow, and it doesnt work. Thats your prob, I think.

seems a good idea with the wireless is it bluetooth???

PCworld have one card down as £80 but then you would probably need 2. They dont often work well, as my friend wanted to share his dads ADSL connection so he bought a set of these and they would work from his dads computer downstairs to his computer upstairs, so he ended up getting his phone line converted to ADSL.

the wireless network card
