The simple answer is yes just go to the store and buy a premade ethernet cable (cat5e or cat6) that is long enough to reach when you consider you generally don't want to run it across the middle of the room.

If you are talking about putting in wall jacks or something you can go do home depot and get all the stuff but I would leave this to professional the first time around.

Hi,

The longest you can do would be 150 feet so you should be fine, you can buy some cheap from newegg or amazon.

But will be expensive at futureshop or bestbuy

150ft.? Gigabit Ethernet using CAT5e or CAT6 can use cables up to 100 meters, beyond that is possible but situation dependent and not as reliable. MONOPRICE has all lengths and colors of high quality cables at very good prices.

Yes if you are looking to put in a wall jack it takes quite a bit of skill. The ethernet jack itself is not too hard but cutting holes in your wall and getting cable through is not a beginner project. I would just run a cable along the wall if that is a option.

That's funny bill -- last week I was visiting an old buddy in Tucson and he conned me into help him (well really doing it since he knows nothing and just stood and watched) connect his wife's PC to Ethernet.

None of his cables had been finished -- just stuffed in the wall without jacks. As it turned out her cable didn't even go to his patch panel, there was a bundle of cable just cut off (with about 6 inches left) in a cabinet in the adjacent room. They had switched electrical contractors in the middle of construction years earlier and things were not good.

After a bit of a scare (the first 4 cables I looked at were CAT3) I found the CAT5e cable that went to her office with a tester. So I put a female adapter on that end too, and then had to smash through a common but difficult offset wall that of course had drywall over 1/2 inch plywood and more studs that I had ever seen before in mass bunches. I got the job done over about 3 hours (for free) but the hard part was keeping his wife out of the area until I repaired the drywall and cleaned up with the shopvac -- she would have totally freaked out at the square foot holes needed to do the access.

That is the first cable I've personally run in quite a while, I always hire someone to crawl through attics and do the hard work now, and then just finish off the line ends and so forth. That reminded me that I used to be a lot younger.
