I'm thinking about getting an ADSL connection, but I have one question - does the connection allow me to use the fast connection on two different computers. I have two computers, and i would like them both to be connected - would this require networking or nor?? Many Thanks Nick T

It does require a network of some type. This can be as simple as multiple NIC cards or as complex as a router/switch set up but it does require somthing to link them. Don't let that scare you off tho, it's easy to set up and not too expensive. Jimi_l

your best bet is to buy a router switch for $70 , this will allow you to connect up to 4 computers on the router and still just use one address as the router will NAT for the local addresses , this is also a built in firewall .

If I use a router, what do I do with it - do I connected it hone line and then connect the router to the computers? Do I need to network if this is my choice? What soet of wiring does it require?? Thanks in advance NicK T

Here are two excellent sites for Home Networking that may help answer your questions: http://www.helmig.com/ http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/ They are good places to start if you are new to this. Have a look.

I have ADSL and two computers using the same connection. Here is a URL for the router I use: http://www.dlink.com/products/broadband/di704/ Everything that you need is included except for the Ethernet Cards. This router has a built in firewall as well.
