    setting up broadband for two macs

    yep, thats what you want. The only reason i can see why a male -> female cable could be useful is as an extension cord! There are 2 types of male to male cords though - crossover and straight through. Cross over are used to connect 2 computers directly (ie no switch/hub/router) This so that...

    setting up broadband for two macs

    A splitter is probably just a line filter for your phone which is required if you have ADSL on your line. ADSL uses the very high frequencies available in the POTS service (Plain Old Telephone System). Unless the line filter is installed when you use the phone for anything else these high...

    setting up broadband for two macs

    you will still need to buy ADSL line filters for all the phone jacks in your house where you have a phone plugged in. If you don't filter all the jack-points then the ADSL connection will be disrupted every time you use the phone. If you go wireless you could probably get away with just one...

    Keyboard Question

    do a simple test for me will you? try just pushing the delete key, then try pushing the delete key with SHIFT held down. Spot the difference, its pretty subtle, very subtle, infact if you can tell the difference you're probably looking too hard! :D :confused:

    Keyboard Question

    no, on a powerbook it's: fn+delete = forward delete option+delete = delete the entire word before the insertion point you probably guessed it but fn+option+delete = delete the word in front of the insertion point

    Is it possible to hijack my DSL service...

    Your static ip can still be assigned automatically. Do you know if you have jetstart or jetstream? You could try checking the ip address of the router, turn it off then check if it is still the same once it reconnects

    Is it possible to hijack my DSL service...
