FOLLOW UP: incase anyone is at all interested: i've almost made this a reality. I've agreed to buying a 1.25Ghz eMac, and have almost completely sorted out how to network it all.

can someone give me some basic information on ethernet cables? what are 'cross over' cables, and what is the alternative? i assume they have particular jobs?

Ok. i've been thinking about my situation and i've got another plan. What if i were to use a simply wired router (instead of going wirelss) and run the ethernet cable around the corners of the room and up above the door frame (you'd probably need…

ive just realised that the Airport Base Stations only have a 50 ft range @ 54mbps. Is that 50ft as the crow flies, or for example, in a house with fibro walls it would have to travel around the walls/corners? Thanks
