nellie2 Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 If you want to connect separately you will need a router... otherwise you can connect one to the net through the other as you do now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nellie2 Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 You might need another nic card though depending on how your connection comes to your host pc. If it is by usb then you won't need one but if it is by ethernet cable then you will need a card for the signal coming in and a card for your crossover cable to the other pc. I have heard that people have probs with the usb connection but I could be wrong here........ don't know if anyone else can give you some pointers.

Sir Radfordin Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 The modems that I've had from Blueyonder use either USB or RJ45 have used it on USB for a year previously without any problems. Switched to RJ45 when added a router. Didn't notice any difference in performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikeychris Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Sir Rad, I agree, I've never noticed a drop in performance with USB and RJ45. On paper RJ45 is better but the don't surf the net on paper...do you. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
