networking PC's
hi all
any suggestions on how to network PC's together. We have managed to link them up for Game play but not so that the internet connection works on my PC :cry: I have posted this same topic on the Kitchen Table in the hope that someone can help!
We have broadband connection and are running it through a dual speed hub to my PC but nothing seems to work. we have tried most of the usual options
Any help appreciated! Thanks
Steph
PS if I don't reply straight away it is that im only online between 4-6 ish (when i can get on the PC before my hubby LOL) I'm not ignoring you honest! :D

Re: networking PC's
If you have broadband, you will need a router. (I tried for two weeks the traditional way).Try and get one with a switched hub. I have a Linksys router, dead easy to set up, the software does it for you. The one thing you will need to do is register the Mac address of the router with your ISP. I am with Blueyonder and you can do this through their self-care page. There is also an excellent site to visit if you get stuck

Re: networking PC's
We can't do ours either... I don't have a clue & the other half has got an ethernet hub between the two computers that's all... I want my set up in my 'office' upstairs & he wants his left downstairs :roll: lol
He has tried many times, but all he does is keep changing my settings! adding accounts and bug*ering up my computer... :evil:
is an ethernet Hub enough or do I need something like your widget?
Thanks
totallyclueless :lol:

If you have a standard dial-up connection all you need is a Ethernet hubs - if you have broadband you need a router to share an internet connection- see above
