Quick question??
 

hey i just have a quick question

can you use a splitter to wire two computers to the net at the same time from one modem rather than use a router???

Re: Quick question??
 

nope. well, just possibly if only one is on at a time, but that kinda defeats the point...

:welcome: to the site though :)

Re: Quick question??
 

oh right ok cheers mang

Re: Quick question??
 

Or yes if NTL give you more than one IP (say in the XBox gaming service, but as this costs £1.50 a month? You are better spending £15 on a router, a payback of under 1 yr.

Re: Quick question??
 

You can use Internet Connection Sharing on one of the PCs to allow the second PC to share the first PCs connection.

Re: Quick question??
 

wouldn't you still need a router though?

Re: Quick question??

Re: Quick question??
 

Can't find one for £15, but eBuyer have one for £19 (inc VAT). http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=52897

Nope, you need a hub or switch. I believe NTL actually give you a two-port hub to go with your second IP.

You'd need a router to put any more devices on the network though.
