Phoneline Networking

[Guest]

I would like to do phoneline networking for my new computer to share my cable modem with both computers. I don't think my mom would approve of a cat5 cable running all the way through the house . What is a good phone line networking router? I'd like to keep it as cheap as possible. Also, what kind of networking cards do you need? Or is there a converter for the cat5 to phoneline?
Thanks!

I was looking into this the other day. It actually seems like a good technology. It's a cheaper alternative to wireless. I don't have any experience with it, so I can't recommend anything. If you want to keep it cheap, you may want to forget about the router for now, and go with software internet connection sharing. You can get a couple of the phoneline PNA2.0 network cards in a box for as little as $75. The PNA1.0 cards are even cheaper but can only transfer at 1.0 meg/sec. Here is a link to get you started:
