The coaxial cable's connected to the modem;
the modem's connected to the router;
the router's connected to the desktop pc
AND
the laptop PC
SO
I what I have here is a LAN (Local Area Network) in my very own home.
I didn't go with a wireless router because I honestly cannot see myself working on my laptop while sitting on the deck or outside on the lawn. The deck furniture is very uncomfortable, and I rarely go out on the lawn at all, and if I did it would not be to work.
The only thing I still need is a KVM switch so I can use the same monitor, keyboard and mouse for both computers, and just switch between them.
What does all this mean? Only that in the years I have been working with computer guys I have picked up just enough technical knowledge to be dangerous.
Special thanks to my friend and network guru Rob, for walking me through the router set up this morning. Mwuah!
