Re: Cable Modem Setup Without the Broadjump CD !
 

:erm:
Iâ₠¬ÃƒÆ’¢â€žÂ¢ve just upgraded my system and the new machine is XP Pro sitting nicely on my desk. I have just spent the last 4 days trying to get a CD out of NTL. Yesterday I was told I will have to wait 4 weeks for it and now you tell me I donââ‚Âà ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢t need it after all!

On thing that intrigues me. Currently my 98SE system is linked to Broadband via USB and to a 6 switch hub via the ethernet connector (which I use to link to my portable). You seem to imply I can link everything together via the Ethernet connector.

Sorry to be dumb but how do you do this?

:welcome:

You can indeed :tu:

You woill need a router rather than a switch though...

Power everything off, the connect the cable modem to the router, and then pcs to the router. Power everything back up and hey presto :)

Thanks for that. sounds like I need to get me a cheapish 4 hub router. I also have a networked printer. I think I can link that through my hub - is that right? also can you recommend a router - my hub is netgear I guess they'd be OK?
