It's talking about a standard network connection on your computer. Most
modern computers have a network card (or the equivalent implemented on the
motherboard) with an ethernet (RJ45) socket. So the cable supplied with the
router should plug into this port on your computer.

You will need another cable for your other (laptop?) computer. This computer
may also have a network port. If not, you should be able to get a PCMCIA
network card for it.

Use the existing filters - just plug the router in where the Speedtouch
currently is.

Good luck. I'm off on holiday for a week and a bit early Sunday morning, so
this will be my last post for a while.
