299982 2004-12-06 02:29:00 THIS device has a usb and ethernet plug does anyone have experience running two pc's at the same time from one ?.......did it work .....did it work well etc ? drcspy (146)
299983 2004-12-06 02:45:00 No problem. Mine is the internet access point for a number of pc's. Just use the ethernet into your hub... assuming you have a hub. I nearly paid the $60 extra and got the modem/router with the 4 port hub (well thats what I asked for but they sent me the 302G), but the 302G works a treat. Dolby Digital (160)
299984 2004-12-06 02:54:00 I suspect it would get "confused" if you plugged one box to the USB and another to the Ethernet connector. :D An Ethernet hub is sure to work. :D (A USB hub probably wouldn't.) Graham L (2)
299985 2004-12-06 03:32:00 that 's right it is "either or, not both" theotherone (1421)
299986 2004-12-06 03:40:00 Its possible to do,Have one running through the ethernet and the other via usb.......The unit is designed to do it,and the people who are commisined by xtra/telecom to set em up are happy to do the install.

does it work well?.......It does,...for about 4.2 minutes,I have hgad to go rip a few of these set-ups apart,install a second nic and a hub.....

299987 2004-12-06 05:27:00 The interesting thing is that these modems's are NOT routers, and provide no router funtionality further than NAT. For this reason, I don't recommend it, but it can work... Growly (6)

299990 2004-12-06 06:42:00 Growly, AFAIK, these devices do have routing functions. You have to dig deep into the documentation, but they do have basic capabilities that the usual devices called ADSL routers have like, NAT, DHCP, IP ranges, port forwarding, etc, you can set them up as your gateway without having to use ICS. Whether they have all the functions that a stand alone router should have, I'm not sure. Murray P (44)
