Re: 2 questions about LAN (10/100) cable.
I'm assuming that hubs have to be powered?

That troubles me, only because what I wanted to do is put a splitter up in the attic and have 2 lines come off the one cable coming up to it.

Now I have to decide what I have to do.. I already have the modem into the router. Maybe I'll have to run another 50' cable up through the attic and down into the other room. yuck.

Thanks all for your input, and if anyone has a better idea or solution for this application feel free to post it.



As for the cable connector question. My team mate Jay saw my post and let me borrow his crimping tool. Thanks Jay! w00t!

In order to never have to do that again after it took me ~30 minutes to get the stupid wires in the right places, I have vowed to attach an in-line connector and then a small 1-3 foot cable to use as my laptop connection cable. I don't want to crimp and splice another connector *ever* again or buy a brand new 50' cable either. (which is probably about 2 feet shorter after cutting, and trying to splice the new connector on several times without luck.)
