Ok this is quite frustrating since im pretty computer-retarded.

From the DSL modem to the router is a crossover cable, but then do i need regular cat-5's to connect from the DSL router to the computers?

becuase it doesn't work. If someone could explain to me how to work this in lament terms, i've tried reading the guides but it's so overwhelming.

By the way, I THINK its a crossover cable from the DSL modem to the router.

Because, whatever that cable is (i think its a crossover), works directly from the ADSL modem to my computer. A regular cat-5 does not work from the ADSL modem to my computer directly. I don't know if it matters, but im currently living in europe.

Thanks in advance crew,
