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?

You can indeed

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?
