Dear Eberhard,

Why can't I just connect to the Internet using the modem only?  It is a router 
also.  It eliminates completely one of the potential problems.

That is the way I am connected to you right now.  I am connected to you with a 
cable from the back of the laptop to the modem.  It works.  Why won't it work 
for the broken computer too?  Cable from back of broken computer to modem.  
Most of those who are helping seem to prefer this setup anyway.  What am I 
missing?
