I don't see why speed would be a factor. For 99% of users, wireless speed > internet speed.

Thanks. I might redo it and give the daemon perspective. I was sort of rushing when I did it the first time and didn't even think of it.

It's just a standard regular network cable. You can buy them at pretty much any place that sells computer stuff.

Right. But once you get the network adapter, all you need is regular network cable.
