got cable and RR at the new house, no router though. what can i do to get internet on my computer (this one is my dads). would it be possible to just get a cable modem and plug it into the cable in my room, or would I have to get a router and run it through the cable modem thats already plugged in?

Re: cable internet options

If you want to share the modem, probably cheaper and easier just to buy a router.

Linux box would be cool but it might be easier to just run something like the linksys 4 port cable dsl router. They have a ton of them on ebay.

I agree, I think a regular linksys 4 port router would be easiest. However, it depends on the setup of the house. If you have the extra $$, you could go wireless, so you don't have to string wires all around the house or through the walls. But hey, it all depends on the situation.
