Ethernet cable

[buffalobill]

I've just installed a dual boot on my system using Suse Linux 10.1. I'm a complete newbie to Linux and I've read and don't understand how to get the modem talking through the USB port. Given that I probably have less than six weeks as a client of Sentech, does anyone have a spare/defunct Ethernet cable lying around that they can loan me to get Suse up and running?

It's in a good cause - I've had it to the eyeballs with the security maintenance problems associated with Windows.

Don't fall all over yourselves to help ;-P

I perhaps should have mentioned that I'm in Jhb.

Friend, go to a computer store and ask for 5 metres(or less) of UTP and ask for them to put the RJ45's on for you.
Max 50 bucks.
Oh ok, seems noswal has got you.

Sentech cables do not use RJ45's at each end

Oh, right.
