| 440047 | 2006-03-23 00:59:00 | Hi there, As far as I am aware of, that if you have more than one computer in your house and you wish to be connected to broadband, then each of these computers, must have a separate jack point to be connected to in your house . The maximum total is 5 per household including sky connections (I stand corrected) I have an idea, but I don't know if this will work? I have three computers at the moment . I intend to use the third one as the only and main one to access the world wide web, with the remaining two computers to use this one also to get the internet, email, and anything internet related . My idea is to use a 4 port switch, connect this to a broadband modem / routher or whatever the like, and use these two computers networked to this device to access the internet without each of these computers needing a separate jackpoint . Reason for this, I've used up two of my five allowed jackpoints from my master jack, and I've got 4 rooms which I would like my pcs or any future pcs, to be in and also even if I shifted from room to room , I still want to be able to access the internet through the third computer . At the moment, I am not networked, but was before . Am preparing myself to network my rooms for broadband via cable . I know wireless is the better option, but I like the challenge . I hope I've made myself clear, if not, please let me know . Cheers Old Family |

| 440048 | 2006-03-23 01:11:00 | no need to worry about jack points. you simply need the modem/router connected to adsl at one of the jacks and the other pc's networked to your switch. the networking wireing is different to telephone wireing. | tweak'e (69) | ||
