[QUOTE="mjmchase, post: 32774"] Do you have a router? If not, pick one up, they can be had for less than $100, and it doubles as a firewall to protect your PC and Mac from attacks from outside. Then you would connect your broadband modem to your router, and then share the connection between the mac and PC. If you don't need to keep your PC online then you should be able to just run your current ethernet cable that goes to your PC to your emac instead. That it what I did a few weeks ago when I bought my emac, I have Verizon DSL, a router to share my connection with my Xbox for Xbox Live gaming, and simply unplugged my ethernet cable from the PC and into the emac. After digging out my passwords and server info that Verizon origionally gave me I was up and running without a hitch. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
