to the router, then my other pcs into the router and i'd have shared
net accessaround my house.Is this true?if sodo i need cross overcables
or patch cables? or both and where?

Patch cables will work fine. Can you clarify, you seem to indicate you
have a seperate adsl router and modem, but Im pretty sure the AddOn
Arm8100 is a router with a built in modem?

Do you plug the Arm8100 directly into your Virgin tv-box? or into a
telephone socket?

Thanks

i have the arm. its a router with a asdl modem built in. I used to
have bt but switched isp. what i meant is should i be able to plug a
patch cable from the cablemoden into the router and using the other 3
ports be able to share that connection? ordo i need another router
that will work differently?
