I'm planning on putting some cables through a wall into the next room. I want this to look as nice as possible so that it looks "stock".
(skip this next part)
I have a phone line coming from the office room next door into this room. This house line then connects to the DSL modem, and then into my computer. My computer then has another ethernet card that goes into the switch (ooh .. I'm sharing the internet). The switch then has a cable going back to the office room.
By design I have this setup. I want to keep it this way for various reason. For you upstarts jumping at the chance to say "Buy a router!" or "Go wireless!". I do NOT want a wireless solution for myself because of latency issues. I will eventually get a real router once the room upstairs gets rid of the antiquated pentium 1. I'll then get a router with some 802.11g connections. The point is that I will always have to have a cable going from that room into this room.
ANYWAY.
(back to action)
How do I go about putting a cable through a wall?
These are my steps:
1) Use stud finder to miss a stud.
2) Drill hole in wall big enough.
3) Hope I don't get electrocuted by AC current carying wires.
4) Stick cables through holes.
5) Drink beer.
Someone out there revise my steps please so that I don't die.
