okay no-one at all replied to my last post of a wireless router so i was wondering if i should get a wired connection, a new router so i get four ports then get a cable all the way up to my bedroom, is this cable the right one?

Something wrong with your Caps Lock key?

That would be a struggle, given it got locked...

And no, that's not the right cable, unless you're connecting two machines together directly. To connect a PC to a router, you'd be after a normal patch cable (though the shop don't sell a 15m version of that, as far as I can see).
 
It should be more reliable than bad wireless, and it'll always be quicker than 802.11g.
Whether it's more reliable than you'd find wireless is a bit of an unknown.
 
hehe your a right funny onion you are, final question, does it plug into the network port on my mobo? or do i need a special network card?
 
the patch cable thats coming from my router. ill draw a flow chart to help explain things a bit easier.

Adsl line -->>Router - port 1 -->>short network cable with router-->> old pc
--------------------- port 2 -->>15m patch cable were talking bout-->>NewPC
--------------------- port 3 -->>not in use
--------------------- port 4 -->>not in use


does the cable connnect into the network socket on the mobo of NewPC

EDIT: im quite proud of that flow chart myself.
