We have two pc's that we want to share our 2meg ntl cable broadband connection. We have one cable modem, 1 ethernet wire, and 1 crossover cable. The main pc has 2 ethernet slots, the second pc has one ethernet slot. I have connected it all up but the net is only availabel on the 1st pc. Am i missing something? Do ntl allow you to do this? I've heard its possible to browse the net on both and have them connected like a lan without having to buy a hub or a router.
