shapeofthingsOk, so I'm letting geekhood down here, but I'm a dial-up girl and the world of ADSL is foreign indeed.
SO, my ISP tells me my ADSL connection should be good to go by Tuesday (yipee!). The problemo is I have nil concept of how to set it up or what I need! I have an ethernetty-bit on my motherboard and know how to do all the connection set-up in Winblows, but I know nothink about the hardware side of things. Like, do I need an ADSL modem? Do I need specific cables? Do I just run a cable from my phone jack to my ethernet slot or what? Like I said, n00b!
Advice and product suggestions welcomed. Pointing and laughing permitted, though I will pull faces at you in retaliation.
Thankyou!
