A long article.
"Our editor moves into a new house, and decides to build himself a real home network. He finds that getting professional level results can be quite a challenge. We take an in depth look at the installtion of a new high-powered home network, running wires through walls, making your better half crazy, and go from concept to implementation. Find out what it took to achieve results only a true geek could appreciate!" - http://www6.tomshardware.com/network...630/index.html Eric, PC Buyer Beware! http://www.legge40.freeserve.co.uk/BuyerBeware.htm |

Interesting, especially the part about "contractor" he he he.
I did the whole thing myself, including drilling through a drain vent pipe and almost drilling through a hot water and power cable. ;-). I think the wireless idea should be taken very seriously if you don't have a crawl space. "Eric Legge" wrote in message ... A long article.

The worst thing I did was drill through a furnace plenum. Otherwise,
so far, I did good. In the future, I would like to run a line to the kitchen, if I don't get wireless first. Currently, I am in the early stages, with enough cable to reach the coffee table, and another run upstairs (both from the desktop computer system, manually switched with a crossover adaptor I made from a foot of old nework cable and the RJ45 sawed from an old NIC..) |
