    just ordered the DSL2 package from digiweb there. just wondering if anyone can tell me what kind of modem they send out? i've 2 pcs that i want to connect up to it, will i need to buy a new router, or will the modem provided have 2 ethernet ports so that both PCs can be connected? the blurb on the website says usb/ethernet modem, but doesn't mention anything about the amount of ethernet ports or anything.
    anyone know?

    also, can anyone tell me what sort of cable i would need to connect the 2 PCs to the router? I assume digiweb supply some kind of cable with the modem/router they send out?
    something like this cable be ok to connect it to the other PC?

    Just get a wireless router, or you have ports on the
    back of the digiweb modem to connect through a
    ethernet wire.

    well yeah, i understood that, hence asking if the cable i linked to would the right type to use.

    if i had wanted a wireless setup i wouldn't have bothered posting the thread.

    so anyone know how many ethernet ports are on the modem/router they provide?
