Mark, I'm really dumb when it comes to networks. I see you guys mention this Linky contraption. I'm planning to get a cable modem service and want to run at least three computers off of it. It's a new house, so the wiring is all feeding from a central location and out to the various user locations. Is this Linky thing what I would need to serve as my "hub" in the central location to split off to the various users? And does each user computer have to have anything installed in order to be able to "receive" the incoming cable and cable modem signal? (Does each computer have to have a cable modem?) Thanks. big
