Router connections questions.
My office is finally going Roadrunner YAY! We will have the line come into a central place, then go into a router then split to four computers. Here are my questions:
I don't think wireless is in the plans. that said, do we have a choice of running either co-axial cable or USB cable out of the router?
Does a computer have to have an ethernet card or, if we go USB, does a USB connection suffice.
If I have to install an ethernet card into one of the older computers, can i just pop it in and have plug and play set it up.
How can i tell if a computer has an ethernet card? Do I look for the bigger phone jack on the back, is there a way i can go into Control Panel and find out?

thanks to all. larry
