Post by ImPAcT »

I'm wonting to split an @home cable connection between 2 computers and was wondering how. Is there a way to do it so that i dont need to use ICS or leave one computer always on???

Also I do have a hub...

Well you could either buy a 4 port router which will cost you anywhere from about $70-$100 which will split the connection for up to four comptuers, or you could but an extra IP adress from your ISP and pay an extra monthly fee. I would go with the router since it has a built in hardware firewall makes things cheaper in the long run.

I posted the same thing in the thread in the Cable/DSL forum
