I'm helping a friend sort out various computer-related problems. One aspect concerns their (NTL/Virgin) cable-DSL Internet connection. What I'm thinking of is getting one of those WAN/LAN boxes that combines a router port (to be cabled to their DSL cable modem) with a 4-port LAN switch.
Actually, re-reading this... is your friend using cable or adsl? (it won't be both if he doesn't have 2 connections) If he has a cable modem then they just provide (aiui, i'm not a cable customer) an ethernet port to plug into. If it is adsl then he needs something to do the adsl bit (i.e. plug into the phone line).
