    What type Ethernet cables?
    « on: August 24, 2005, 12:10:20 PM »
    I am using a Direcway modem for satellite DSL and networking through a Microsoft wireless base station. Does it matter what type of ethernet cables I use?

    Blookah, you have a lot of questions. Is this homework?

      No this is not homework. I just seem to have compiled a number of problems all at once.

        Commando,
        Can these be mixed? I mean I have the cable running from modem to wireless base station and another from base station to my PC. Can these be a C5 and C6 for example?
        Thank you,
