My buddy is getting the cheap TT&T HiNet ADSL install tomorrow, as they dont do any setup or assitance or provide a modem or router or anything (so it seems) I was round there today and over to Big C to sort out router / modem and price up wireless networking for him (later too much for now)..

The way I will have to sort his home net will need a 25m ethernet cable up to a bedroom for a desktop computer location.. Looking at the modem / router I think it will need to be a patch or cross cable (thats usual) but I have no ethernet crimpers here to knock one up for him.

I used to always deal with Rick from Simple computers who had a great Thai lad that did all the cable routing round my home for peanuts..

So does any of the regulars know anyone cheap in patong to make a long patch cable and route it ??

Failing that does anyone have a ethernet crimp tool ??

Or any other suggestion. Installer comes tomorrow and it looks like we will need to be using my laptop to set up the router and test it etc (before the engineer can chuck the box in the corner and say its done and **** off) if we cant get the network cable in fast.
