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
