I'm a whiz at using computers, but an idiot with this kind of hardware stuff. I've tried searching online, but am evidently not using the right keywords.
I subscribe to Cox Cable with internet access. [The cable TV part is HD, if that matters.] I've just bought a laptop and want to use it on the desk next to my television. The laptop has an internal 56K modem [a Conexant HDA D100 MDC V.92], and also has a phone jack, a network jack, and three USB ports.
Are there any adaptors or cable splitters that will allow me to plug the coaxial cable from the wall into it and then run lines to the digital cable box AND my laptop?
The technician I spoke to at Cox Cable wasn't very knowledgeable -- the only guidance he could provide was to say that I'd need something that's 1 ghz or higher.
Any help from you would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
If you go to any Wal-Mart, back by where they keep the TV Antenna's and cables you will find some coaxial splitters. You need one with one input and two outputs and then you will need two more coaxile cables. When you get home take the cable line that is hooked to the TV and hook it to the input on the spliter. Next connect one of the coaxial cables you bought between one output and the TV and the other between the other output and the cable modem. You can then connect the Ethernet cable between your computer and the modem.
