| 313314 | 2005-01-12 07:35:00 | How do I setup 2 home computers to connect to the internet at the same time? :stare: 1. Do I do this pair to pair and how? 2. Or do I need a hub? I have ClearNet 56K dialup however i do a Nokia M11 ADSL modem lying around - I'm assuming I need to attain ADSL connection instead of dial up if I want to use the M11? Your advise will be treasured, thanx guys. ;) |

| 313315 | 2005-01-12 07:47:00 | Yup you would need Jetstream or similar to use that ADSL modem. For dialup, for the 56k modem, u need an ethernet cable, long enough for it to connect to the other PC. And a Crossover, or a hub....to connect the 2 PC's. And also 98 second edition or higher on either to use ICS, so both get on the net. What version of Windows is on both?? If they use Windows? |

| 313317 | 2005-01-12 08:02:00 | I can't remember if the M11 had multiple ethernet ports or not (the M1122 does) but if it does, you can still use it as a hub, regardless of if the DSL is operating. Edit: Googled the manual, doesn't look like it does. |

Edit: Googled the manual, doesn't look like it does. Don't you mean a gateway Ninj rather than a hub? If it would do that it would certainly save mucking around with 2 cards in the one box and MS ICS, but looks like a hub/switch would be needed to achieve it (can be got cheep though). |

| 313319 | 2005-01-12 08:44:00 | Don't you mean a gateway Ninj Nah I meant hub. The Nokia M1122 (successor to the M11) have a 4 port hub which will work fine, DSL or no DSL. That was what I was aiming for, however unfortunately the M11 doesn't. In which case I'd go WiFi if I was doing it. |

| 313320 | 2005-01-12 19:08:00 | both machines will also need network cards -- these can be purchased cheaply from Dick Smith for $15 if you don't have one. The easiest way to do it is to get a *crossover* network cable long enough between the two machines, and plug this into either machine. If you have winXP on both machines, setup for network/internet sharing, should be quick as a whistle -- just run the network setup wizard. |
