| 535850 | 2007-03-26 03:17:00 | I wish to create a home network of two computors six feet apart. I know I know that I can link A&B computors to one monitor and a single keyboard via a KVM switch. Computor A is connected to Broadband via D- Link and Intergrated 10/100 Card, and to my Brother Printer (USB). Now to the Nitty stuff--how do I connect Computor B so that both A & B are able to use the Broadband and Printerhttp://pressf1.pcworld.co.nz/images/smilies/confused.gif :confused:I have only one telephone outlet. I will be very greatful for any assistance. |

| 535852 | 2007-03-26 04:44:00 | Well first of all, what D-Link are you refering to? if it is the DSL302G then SolMiester's way is best unless you buy a whole new modem/router. If it is the newer DSL504G then you are able to connect another ethernet cable to that and the other PC Tell us the model of the D-Link modem, we can't give the best advice without it |

| 535853 | 2007-03-26 10:11:00 | If it IS a 302G, then you can set up the other PC using the USB connection. The 302 allows both USB and ETH at the same time. | trig42 (11325) | ||
| 535854 | 2007-03-26 20:56:00 | If it IS a 302G, then you can set up the other PC using the USB connection. The 302 allows both USB and ETH at the same time. No, they are very touchy and unstable with that and often doesn't work. and plus USB is slow, you will (unless you have absolute crap BB) always be limited by the speed of the USB port and the DSL302G is USB 1.1 IIRC | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 535855 | 2007-03-27 02:43:00 | Thank all of you for your assistance, my D-Link is the older 302G version, I will try SolMiester 's option! Once again thank you all for your help!! |

| 535856 | 2007-03-27 03:04:00 | OK, his way is best unless you have any problems with the modem and want to replace it? | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
