HOW TO – Run your own network wiring

Supplies-Network-Howto
Wil @ Engadget has a good how-to on setting running network wiring around your home/biz – “Wherever you call home, it probably didn’t come wired up for that most precious of home utilities: internet access. Sometimes wireless networking can only take you so far. Guerrilla network wiring might sound a little strong, but sometimes it ends up feeling like an episode of MacGyver, without the bombs. (Unless you count flaming laptops.) In today’s How-To, we’ll show you how to make your own cables and teach you a few tricks for getting them where you need ’em most around the house.”Link.
