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.

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

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.
