If people have the right bits and pieces then I am sure between us we can make something work. PaulWhy do we need a cable? Surely the wireless would work? Unfortunately I don't have a network cable that long, not sure if anyone else does. RobIn case the wireless does not work Paul
Ahh okay, well I'm not sure if anyone else has got a long CAT5 cable, if not we'll just have to make do with what we have.
