Sorry for being unclear Madcow. I'll try to answer all of your questions.
-For the time being, I'm just taking the ethernet out from the Cable modem straight into his his computer.
-This connection works fast and flawlessly when connected to my computer.
-I shouldn't have said a "good connection." I should have written "no connection at all."
-We're playing World of Warcraft. I took that into consideration but for now we're just trying to hook up to the internet.
Thanks for any further info.
