Unfortunately, I cannot see > any place in the modem/router to connect an extra cable... You can buy 8 port layer 2 switches for about $20 including shipping. You can buy a wireless router for about $45 including shipping. (You can even flash it with something like ddwrt or openwrt if you want to have low level access to the device.) You can install a nic card (for something like $15) in your existing computer and have it route packets and do NAT for the laptop. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
