Let me tell you why I am confused right now. The only Ethernet cable I have ever seen is the one I have connecting my computer to my modem.

I just went online and typed Ethernet Cable, and I get all kinds of cables.

some are patch cables, some have numbers.

I just want to connect the modem to my computer with a regular old Ethernet cable.

So what exactly is a patch cable?

Is this what I want?

I'm going to bring (I have another ethernet cable that came with the new modem), I'll bring it to Radio Shack and say "See this little ethernet cable, I want one that is 20 feet long".

Is this what I should say??

Thanks much
