Re: Sharing Internet Between 2 People!
I'm confused. I haven't got any spare holes in my computer for the port of the ethernet card.

dodger
nice review on the page about that router..........'OK maybe i should have looked more closely but it apears you still need a dsl modem to make this unit function. It didn't make that clear when i bought it though - I just thought that when it said BROADBAND Ethernet Router that it would connect to broadband and route!'
was the blokes name lemming by any chance?

wireless is more expensive and you'll need a wireless adaptor for the pc u want to connect, unless it's fairly new and it has wi/fi built in? which it hasnt cos u dont even have an ethernet port on your pc----
so let me get this right, u want to connect your pc to the main pc in the house to share the ntl/cable internet? the router will connect to your main pc via the utp cable thats provided with it... then u just run the long ethernet cable that you're buying, from the router to the usb-utp adaptor, thats it... no network card required in your pc... unless u want to have a dabble?.
