a few questions about a broadband connection,
Will i need to use a hub or could i just get another router?
And do any of you know where to get this stuff(everything, cables, broadband adapter, everything) for a decent price? (under $100)

A few questions about your internet set up:
Have you already got a router?
im not to sure on retialers in your area, or even your country, where abouts are you, youve used the $ symbol, but that could be Australia, is that where you are?

theres many different types of broadband conections out there, and each type of high speed internet access has different set up combinations, and each differing type requires a slightly different set up for PSO.

Cable?
Satelite?
DSL (ADSL/SDSl etc)?
wireless ( through an aerial on your roof)
through the mains power suply ( this uses the mains power wires to transmit/recieve information)

do you have a USb modem, or an ethernet modem?
are you using a router? does it have a built in modem? is it wireless?
what ISP are you with?
