Ok, I've decided that I really don't need two internet connections in the
house. I've discovered that if I transfer files with a flash drive(yeah,
kinda slow of me, I know)that they will be delivered intact. I wanted the
two computers to network so I could exchange files. I tried making data
disks but found that they were usually degraded in some way, pictures with
parts missing and applications that won't run. But the few picture files
I've moved so far seem just fine and I'll try some vids and applications
later. So now I think I can rehook the old cablemodem and return the
wireless one.
