can this be done thru one modem?? with a splitter or something? cuz i wanna run my computer at home even tho we have another one there.....the modem is in the room next to mine so its not far.
What is your service provider, a hub is the easiest way to do it but the service provider may only allow one pc. In that case you will need a router to split the net connection. A little bit more expensive and a little bit harder to configure but worth it in the long run.
I just run mine with two NIC cards, one to the modem and the other connected to the computer upstairs with a 75 foot crossover. Turn on internet connection sharing and both use the internet fine.
routers are only like 100 bucks now..same roughly for the wireless cards...and really it's not hard to configure....if u know how to read, you're pretty much set.
That's what I did basically. Made a server out of an old computer kicking around, threw two NIC's into it, one for the modem and one for the old 8 port hub I had. Setup connection sharing, made a DHCP server on it, and all that stuffs, and ran lines to various computers in the house....
its just like eastlink, its a cable internet i think not too sure, but if they are you'll have to call them to get the MAC added to the account
