Is it difficult? What kind of equipment do you have to install? Or should I have the phone company do it and pay them an exorbitant amount of money? I have a network card in the computer already.
 
Doo doo head.

In europe the phone company will come and install the damn thing for you.

If nmot you'll need, a router and a Hub to make it work...well only a router if it's only one puter on it.
 
Brat, I'm trying to fill out the form, and they have these check boxes. So, is it easy to do it yourself, or worth it to have them come out and do it? And they charge you by how much work there is to do. I don't know which box to fill out.

Well to me it would be easy to set up April...but then again I have worked with this stuff for 5 years and know it inside out.

In your case I would ask the phone company to cxome out and set it up....you're my virtual sister and I love ya'...but you dont know jack about networking.
 
I take offense to your "tone"! :p Brat. *mumbling something unflattering*

Seriously, I was just asking. But is it a difficult thing to do? Then again, the instructions might be in German. :( It probably would be easier to have them do it.
 
No april its not hard to do, not at all...but you gotta know where to insert the right plugs, and which command to use on the puter to make it work.

Granted its basic commands and basic actions..but still knowing you....uhm...*DUCK!!!!!*
 
April, I don't know what your "tech" capabilities are, but at least when the phone company does it if it's wrong THEY have to fix it.

Just make sure the area around the computer is neat. Install techs aren't known for their grace.
 
Well, it's all theoretical anyway. They have to lay the cable still. And they may decide that they just don't want to!

If I had had my choice, we wouldn't have taken this house once I found out there was no DSL in the village! I would have kept looking.

Its really not that hard to do Wizzie, is it??
 
It is really easy........

The hardest thing involved was stretching the phone cord. I havent got a phone jack near my desk,so I had to buy the really long cords. It works great and only took a few minutes to install.

Not at all ....I was scared too before I started but I had all the cards and they sent me what I needed and directions on how to do it and a phone # to call if I needed help but I never did....

They sent me filters to put on my phone lines and the rest was real simple.
 
Like I said...not very hard at all.

Granted if you got someone that dont know what to do with the different cords and how to look at the setup page well......uhm....sorrry Doo doo head...but well youiu know... uhm.....


I know she is gonna kill me now.
 
Oh yes. I'm sure it is a snap. If the instructions are in ENGLISH!!

Oh, and Xander, fcuk you!

I'm well and truly addicted. Sneaking on and posting late at night. *sigh*
And fuck is spelled that way for a reason. :)
 
Maybe not. Then I'd have to scare up another av for you.

And I can think of a few I'd much rather spend that kind of time with.
*smiling sweetly*
Too bad I can't ever find any who live near me.

I am hurt Big Sita....and you know for a fact that very few things makes me cinge now a days.
 
You're hurt? Suuure.

Anyway...why do my threads keep devolving these days? They start out with a simple premise and quickly devolve into either name calling or inane conversation. What's up with that?

*biting tongue so as not to say anything mean*
