Took a router to hook into DSL modem from someone on eBay, the payment went through today, some 40$. This is where I had to learn a few things I previously didn't have to, the local internet connection spread, this time at home. So far I had my engineer who did those things, but that was in offices, now I'm supposed to have that at hme. Good thing that I kept the long UTP cable which Ted made, so I jacked it into Lena's machine, and bought a shorter one for myself, and so now we have a home network.
The router was something made for Macs, and the whole instruction manual was along those lines, and it seemed it won't even work, specially not the wireless, which I couldn't use anyway, we didn't have any wireless cards. Turns out the manual covered the software which should run on a Mac, which is actually not needed at all, the card driver handled it by itself, and any additional setup would, indeed, require a Mac, but didn't need to do any of those at all, it just worked as it were. The speed was much better, and at least the connection didn't break fifty times on a weekend.
Went to Richmond today, checked on the girls.
