If you run another phone line out there maybe you'll have to pay for it, as opposed to not if you just run a cat 5 cable out there. -----Original Message----- From: PCBUILD - Personal Computer Hardware discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of srs Sent: Sunday, June 19, 2005 11:06 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [PCBUILD] DSL Hookup Hello all. I have had dsl hookup with small telephone coop for 3 1/2 years. I recently built an office outside of my house. I had the cable run out to the building. they are telling me I have to run a Cat 5 cable from my router/hub out to the new building. Why can't I get another router/hub and connect it the same way as I have this one? Anyone had any experience in this field? I currently have a Netopia router/hub with 8 ports and only 3 are being used. Wireless is out of the question as the new structure is made of metal. Thank you for any assistance on this subject.
