Networking!

I remember my first home networking experience.

I lived in a shared house with 3 others. We had a USB modem that was shared. So we would unplug it and pass it around to each other. After a few weeks, enough was enough. I decided to purchase and set up a small network.

So I went down to PC world and purchased a wireless modem and what seemed like a kilometre of CAT5e cable.

I got home and started reading. I was damn confused so went onto the manual side of things and wired the VAT5e cable all around the house using little wire tacks to keep it in place.

I did a damn fine job, but it still took me another two days to get the network working. After that it worked like a dream and I never looked back!
