Hi Axel Hammerschmidt,
I heard that Singapore, besides not allowing you to buy chewing gum,
has the best prices on computer equipment ... but I didn't see any in
the malls I visited (Raffles Hotel Shopping Arcade, City Link Mall, The
Concourse Mall, etc.).

I did find a CAT 6 cable of fifteen-foot length for about five
Singapore dollars (1 USD ~= 1.5 SD) so that got me by for the short
stay here in Singapore.

I'll see if I have the same problem in Shanghai as I'm staying at the
Shangrila Hotel (I haven't checked if it has wireless or wired in the
rooms yet).

Certainly, when I get home (I have a few more stops though), I'll
remove my wireless router and see if I can get by with just cable
hooked to the modem to the computer with the second computer connected
to the first computer wirelessly without the router or hub or switch
involved.

Thanks for your advice,
Cindy Fischer
