Well, my daughter is home from college with her Mac. Her preference is to have her computer set up in her room upstairs at the far side of the house from the computer center set up in our study. The fact that there isn't much room to put it downstairs is another factor in her favor. Of course, putting it upstairs is easy. The hard part is getting it connected. After all, of what use is it if it isn't connected?

Fortunately, we have already run a cable down to the basement where we have a second hub set up which my son's computer is plugged into. I was able to poke a hole in the air conditioning vent tubing and run a cable through the ventalation shaft up to her room from the basement. Fortunately, the 50' cable I purchased for this purpose was just long enough to reach both the hub in the basement and the computer in her room (of course, on the opposite side of the room from the a/c vent). We plugged in the cable at both ends and it worked the first time. Success! Hooray!
