I tried to look up directions for "system restore" in the index, and the closest I could find was "system resources." Maybe that's not an option with Windows 2000? I seem to remember an option with Windows ME that let users reset everything back to a point when things were working well, but I can't find that option with 2000. (Is that what you meant by system restore?)

Uh, this question is going to come out *really* braindead, but here goes: does a cable exist that has an ethernet jack on one end, and a phone jack on the other? Or is there some sort of adapter that would allow one end of an ethernet cable to plug into an older laptop that has a phone jack but not an ethernet port?
(It's this whole thing with my old laptop and The Boy's DSL modem and cables, etc. My old laptop only has a port/jack/whatever it's called [hey, it's late and I'm having trouble with words] for a phone line, but the cable that comes out of the DSL modem is an ethernet cable.)
Am I wishing for something that isn't real?
And if it IS real, can you please link to an example of such a product, because my google search terms are yielding weird shit.

Do you have serial ports on the old laptop? I've seen ethernet/serial adaptors.

Do you have serial ports on the old laptop?
Uh. Kind of?
There's a port that looks like a serial port, except it has 3 rows of holes instead of 2.
I'm suddenly feeling very, VERY much like a help desk nightmare.

What's the model number?

Is 1200 a viable model number? There's a "1200" on the keyboard.
(I haven't used that thing in a LONG time, and I also can't grok how The Boy has his tangle of DSL ---> modem ---> wireless router ---> his desktop CPU set up.)

For instance, would this cable work: [link] ?
