local area network connections?

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?

Problem creating LAN on new computer?

I opened network connections but i only have a 1394 connection. I have tried to make a new connection but it says it is already hooked up. but no icon… i do have activity on my cable modem. It does connect on my laptop.
Do i need the LAN icon in the network b4 I try to start the modem config? If so how do i make that setting. I only see how to make dialup and crap connections, nothing on cable broadband connections

i have 2 network connections, how can i?

i got 2 network connections. one is dialup and other is wireless
is there any way i can configure that some programs use one connection and others different one..
lets say i want limewire to use my wireless and programs like yahoo mess and internet explorer to use dialup.
or maybe someway that programs use both connections..?

How do I get rid of the “Network Connections” dialog?

I used to use a modem to connect to the internet, and then I switched to wireless, so I’m connected all the time. However, I still get this annoying “Network Connections” dialog that asks me to pick a dialup connection. How do I disable this? I have winxp. The dialog says “Choose a network connection:” and then a combo box of dialup options, then buttons for connect/cancel/new/properties… I always pick cancel. Properties doesn’t seem to help.
