quick network question

suppafly

I have a netopia dsl modem(the one that u get off eircom) and i'm using it on one computer and using the usb port. what i'm wondering is can i use the other port to connect my other computer using the ethernet port. I can't connect directly to this comp cuz it doesn't have a network card. this would just be a short term thing while i'm waiting for to get my router but i wann have the net on my other comp. so would this work?

can i use the other port to connect my other computer using the ethernet port.

yes

I can't connect directly to this comp cuz it doesn't have a network card.

There you go

You can use usb/eth at same time with 2 pc`s

suppafly

so i can do it? use usb for the one computer and the ethernet one for the other computer? that'll work won't it? and all i need is some cat5 cable yeah

zAbbo

yup some cat5, and a network card and follow the eircom instructions

i just thought there might be a conflict because of using the 2 ports at the same time, cuz r u only ment to use one or the other, or is this alright

zAbbo

Are you waiting for me to say it wont work?
