| 674211 | 2008-06-04 03:49:00 | OK, two more questions please: 1) I've just purchased the 10/100Mbps Ethernet card. Installed fine. However included in the pack is a "wake on LAN" cable - but no instructions on what it's for, or how to use it. What is this for and do I need it? 2) The store didn't have either a Lynsys or Belkin 4 port modem so I purchased a D-Link brand one instead. Is that brand okay also? Thanks |
