Well one other thing I think may make it easier is the 2nd phone socket is in the back kitchen on the back external wall of the house. The upstairs room is direclty above this. It is my guess that the phone line to this kitchen is coming down from the master bedroom one. This is a assumption based on the fact that the MB is directly above the external point where the tesltra line comes into the house. So guessing a p2p connection scheme they would have gone up to the 2nd storey for the MB socket and then from there to teh back wall of the house and down to the kitchen. If this is true then the job could be simpler just to add a phone socket. They could bring up that wire to the kitchen socket and put a phone socket alogn this path in the upstaris room.

I am thinking due to budget constraints i might skip the UTP and just add the phone socket. The wireless 802.11g is good enough for the upstairs users and the wired connection was more for the downstairs entertainmetn area. But am thinking I can use Ethernet over Power, I have read some bad press on these though so am investigating them. right now i just need to move the ADSL modem out of the MB and into the other room first.
