I have a DSL internet service at home and I need to network our 2 other computers from different rooms which is 10 meters away. I dont have a LAN card either so can I use an 8 port ethernet SWITCH instead of a ROUTER since it’s more cheaper? Also what would be the difference in their performance if theres any? In addition, what would be the recommended wire placement, the crossover or the standard type?

I am paying for AOL dial-up service but it was too slow so i got Earthlink DSL… (when i look at my Network Connection now though i see under LAN/High Speed Internet: Cisco Systems VPN Adapter,Cisco Systems VPN Adapter, under Dial-Up: NetZero, Earthlink, Earthlink123, and under Broadband it lists Earthlink again as an option…? )
So now my internet is way slow…. is having all these programs on my computer the reason my internet is slow? Why do i have so many catagories ?? Which ones should i get rid of ?? I don’t want to be paying for all of these, and i can’t see having so many connections as a good thing (right?)-So could anyone reccomend one over the others ??? :- / I’ve tried calling customer service but they each only reccomend their own product…and i’d like an unbiased opinion.
… the Earthlink Smart Installer always promts me to install its software each time i reboot my computer… is that normal ?? (cuz its really annoying and i don’t know why it asks me to install it all over again !)
Like said above. I have a high speed Satellite Internet Connection with a contention ratio of 1/5 .I have roughly 7 users browsing at the same time. I want to integrate some satellite phones on my LAN.
–1. I am in Iraq and I dont have much access to the outside world except with my main office (who have no technical expertise) (besides i would like to understand this project before i get a quote from my head office)
–2. I have my VSAT Modem hooked up to a 15something port 10/100 ethernet switch with 7 laptops connected and in use all the time.
–3. I must have very good quality voice capabilities to communicate with various clients across the world
–4. I preffer good VOIP Hardware Phones rather than yahoo and skype. Yahoo and skype are cheaper but i preffer the Hardware phones. Yahoo and Skype are second options.
–5. Do i have to implement some sort of a Quality of service thing on my Satellite Modem to enable good VOIP capabilities?
Thanks. I would appreciate your reply.

What do I need to do to change it?
is it possible to ever increase the speed of modem in dialup connection. normal dialup lines have copper cable, the cables used in LAN i suppose also have similar metal, then y this difference? dialup connection is max of 40kbps and LAN cable is in mbps?
