Thank you for that information. I have purchased a wireless router for use
by my second computer and have a wireless router installed on the new
machine. I have a wireless router that I was going to have connected to the
cable for connection. Are these above and beyond the simpler installation
suggested by David?
should I ignore David's tip since I live in an apartment building with over
a hundred other units?
Thanks.

The ether thing is the ether net cable. It is what goes from your modem
and or router to your pc or laptop.

I think you mean to simply plug in the second computer to an outlet in
the house. I do not know what the ether item is, where to purchase it,
and how to proceed from that point.
Any further information would be appreciated.

Powerline Networking
A powerline network relies on a network that all homes already include
by default, the power network. The electrical system in your home
consists of one or more fuse boxes and copper wiring that runs between
each power outlet to give your electronics the current they require to
operate. A powerline network simply taps into this existing network and
uses the copper wiring to pass data bits between powerline network
adapters. Powerline adapters utilize a technology called OFDM
(orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing), which enables the copper
wiring to carry multiple data streams even while powering appliances and
devices throughout your home. The latest devices also work independent
of line voltage and current frequency to provide a consistent and
reliable networking experience.
This Internet access solution makes a lot of sense because there's
always an outlet near the computer and another outlet near the
Internet-enabled devices you'll likely be using. And if you can plug in
a power adapter and an Ethernet cable, you can install and configure a
powerline network yourself in minutes.
