Do you have access to that underground conduit? And if so, is there room to push an ethernet cable through it? That would probably be the best solution if that's doable. That way you could either have a cheap 4-port switch that hard-wired the two computers in the studio, or you could set up a wireless out there.

Harry J-B;

I don't know what I've been doing wrong. I have a Lynksys (D-Link) DSL wireless router (bought it last spring (2007). I even paid a bundle to have a so-called Mac expert from Comp USA to come out to hook it up. He spent a lot of time and said that was all he could do... it still doesn't work. But I was charged, of course, for his time and the D-Link! Bummer!!!!

My daughter has two computers (a laptop Mac and a regular Mac) out in my studio. That building is in my back yard and only about 15-20 feet from the house (or about 20-30 feet from my main computer). The electricity and the phone are on the same lines (same number) as in the house. Neither ATT&T nor Insight say they can get me service out there without a separate server and modum... a second whole account, in other words. That is out of the question with my budget.

The electricity and phone lines go out to the studio through an underground conduit. Is there any way anyone knows what my problem and/or solution may be? You can respond to me on this listserve or at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or, I would be delighted to hear any ideas from members at my home phone number, (502)583-2057.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Mike Watkins
