to the forums.

You are right in that it is better to connect the router to the master socket on your phone line.
Aso make sure you have put adsl filters on any phones you have connected around the house.

Once you have connected your router to the master socket, you can run ethernet cable from the router to each computer.
you would nee two cables to be able to use the net at the same time on both machines.
A splitter on one cable would not work if using two machines at the same time thus why two cables are needed.

you can buy lenghts of ethernet cable from here:
