Hi Guys,

I have been using UTV Clicksilver since last month and am using their supplied usb modem. Down the line I intend to use a wireless setup but funds down stretch that far yet.

I have a second pc sitting alongside my main pc and want to give that net access aswell - is there a usb modem that I can connect to both pc's via usb to allow net access on each?

tks

There's no double usb output modem to my knowledge.

Cheapest option:
connect the 2 pc's using network cards and a crossover cable.
And us ICS (internet connection sharing) to get the internet onto the 2nd pc.

More expensive option:

Buy a adsl modem with a cat5 network connection, a wired (or wireless) router and all the cables to go with.
