Paul, >>>Intel thinks it can outflank rivals in an emerging home market for computer networks, attacking the growing number of homes that have two or more PCs. Though about 400,000 homes have networks already, Mr. Gill says, most don't because of the hassles of stringing cable from one room to another.<<<

This sounds interesting. This is hypothetical. Suppose I have four pcs and three printer in the house located in three different rooms located on three floors. I would like to connect these computers and printers to a file server that would be located in one of the rooms that I use as an office. What is the bill of material and the cost for this? I'm assuming I'll will need an electrician to acquire the coax cables and to attach to connectors, PC's, hub, whatever? And I'll install Windows NT software myself. (Also, I need every computer to be able to access the WWW using regular, POTS, dial-up.)

I tried the network designer input form on the Intel website - but it was too complicated for someone like me.

There can't be too much to this - can it?

Mary
