Hi I share my internet with my uncle in the next flat through cable connections and i need another connection for my laptop but his modem or switch whatever he says it is has no more slots left so if I get a new modem and connect it with my pc and run a cable to my laptop using the same internet . so its like our own modems but same internet connection.will it work??? kezia

If you are running a Cable from next door, buy yourself a Router, this goe on the cable and your PC/Laptop are connected to the Router: Internet > Uncles Modem > Router > Your PC/Laptop's

share my internet with my uncle in the next flat through cable connections and i need another connection for my laptop but his modem or switch whatever he says it is has no more slots left Decide which it is as they are two completely different pieces of equipment. You can have as many switches as you want, but only one Modem. You need a router though to share an Internet connection and these usually come with a four port switch built in. Stuart

so does this mean i need to buy a router and 2 sets of cables as the existing cable with the internet from next door will connect with the router and 2 other cables to connect to my pc and laptop.is that it
