Hey guys, I have a total n00b problem here. I have but one DLS modem, and my brother's wife wants to get her computer hooked up to the net too. What do I need to make this work, and what can I expect to pay for it?

It has, thus far, done jack shit. See, the problem is that the router only supports one ethernet connection. I'm sure how the hell to get the second computer online, which makes your answer, while well meaning, pretty-much worthless. :wacko:Quote:

So plug the ethernet from the modem to the router's "input", then plug ethernet from an "output" to your computer, and another from another "output" to the other computer.Quote:

I'm guessing some sort of ethernet splitter? :shrug:Quote:

Wait, there's only one OUT on the router?
o_O
Get a better router, is my advice.
Yeah, there's only one. It's not my router though, so eh, I'll let them by a new one.Quote:

Be sure it has 1 WAN port (internet goes in that) and 4 LAN ports (computers connect there). Most home routers should have that above.
I am thinking Unreal Tournament might do the job for me. Who knows though.
Thanks. I'll look into it. Mucho appreciated. :)Quote:

Do it.Quote:

Everything is ethernet (RJ45), nothing is phone (RJ11).Quote:

So Unreal Tournament is still really fun. The announcer makes the game so much better.
Oh shit. 6 in am again. :ugh: I had no idea it was this late. Time fo beds.
Daylight Savings sucks ass.

No, I like when it goes backwards. Forwards sucks. I have to be up an hour earlier. :ugh:Quote:
