Cable Forum - View Single Post - Connecting laptop to cable modem instead of desktop

Hirfryn · 30-09-2005, 21:15

My desktop connects via cable modem to NTL, using the USB. I have a laptop which I use away from home, on dialup with another ISP.

Can I plug my laptop into the cable modem via USB, instead of the desktop when home, to download large files and would my dialup settings be altered?

I have tried the helpdesk, but they said the only gave advice on one standalone PC.

Any help/advice appreciated
