and i presuming this is possible i would need a second cd key would i?

Networking wise, that'll work, though you might want to lower the rate down to 64kISDN in the setup screen. I've done it myself with no loss in performance.

And yes, you'll need 2 cd-keys.

i'd be a networking noob of the highest order now, what setup screen is this?

hmm data thinks of ways to obtain a second cd key.....

just go into the connections option and bridge the connections should work a treat

i eircom's netopia modem connected via my ethernet but my friend has an ethernet hub is that all i would need and the modem could go into my computer via the hub is it?

magick

yup should do lad, of course make sure you uninstall firewall software or anything thing that can screw it up

Woden

k roger that, this probably won't happen for ages, my friend just happend to mention today would broadband support two people gaming and i thought it would no bother which sparked ideas and such

aldo nice system your running it on, im currently running a xp3000, u know how far that would go in overclocking? using a coolermaster jet 7 to cool it ,5 fans 2 in 2 out one on the side of the case.

very good overclocking guide here

i reckon you'll easily get xp3200+ out of it (and probably more) if you have a motherboard which supports 200mhz fsb and some pc3200 ram

if you have a unlocked barton, lower the multi quite a bit and up the fsb following that guide, upping the vdimm and vcore as necessary.

with regards to cooling you have a load of case fans but i haven't heard good things about the jet 7 tbh thats the silver one iirc, however just keep an eye on your load temps i try to keep em under 50c and run prime 95 for stability testing.

i have my vcore at about 1.75v as well to give a stable overclock, anywho you goal should be to find the max fsb you can run it at and then up the multi. i think you current multi is at 13 however don't just expect to increase the fsb to 200 with that high of a multi you'd be doing well to have a chip that could do 2600mhz on air with low vcore

good luck any questions fire em my way
