Didn't know where this belonged exactly, so I figured I'd post it here.
I have DSL at my home. It feeds from a phone jack to a converter and a CAT5 cable supplies the desktop from the converter.
I wanted to download some tuning programs to my laptop, but it doesn't have a port that accepts the CAT5 cable.
Is there an adapter I can use?
Thanks

Not cheap, or easy, but I gave up on trying to run things seperately. So I got a router, and a couple PCMIA cards, so I can plug in any combo of things, and link them all together.
So if I want to work at the ecm bench, I can do that without carring discs around, or sit in the recliner, all I have to do is drag a cable over to it. Wireless probably would have been better, but I like the security of hardwiring things.

or you can download on the desktop, burn the proggies to a cd, and then load them on the laptop.....don't tell me you dont have a cd burner...
