| 383238 | 2005-08-23 14:45:00 | Howdy. Currently I have a home network consisting of two desktop pc's and two laptops all connected to an adsl modem via a 4 way hub. This works fine. Without losing any of the settings for the home network, can I easily set up other "profiles' so I can hook a laptop up to the chemistry departments network at uni, or take it around to a friends house (no internet or network yet) so we can play multiplayer games via an ethernet cable? Ps. All computers run winXP home except the friends pc, his is WinXP pro Cheers Ravage |
