2 Network Questions

[Talon582]

Hey Guys,
I recently setup a home network and it works great but I have two questions.
1. How do you configure a PC of remote admin?
2. When I ran the cable to my parents room for their computer The cable reached but was a little short. I've seen cable extensions for phone cables, where the rj11 cable plugs into one end then cable goes on for a length, have you guys ever seen one for cat5?
Thanks for your input.

If your wanting a single cable to come out of the wall and connect to the computer your extenders can be found <A HREF="http://www.fiberdyne.com/cat5couplers.html" target="_new">here</A>or<A HREF="http://www.hometech.com/techwire/tp.html#U508AWT" target="_new">here</A>. You could probably even find them at Radio Shack for that matter. If it's long enough to cut off inside the wall, I'd just mount myself a nice little wallplate to plug into.
