I use a cheap router and uplink that to a cheap hub... (You only need the router to start small...) That gives me spots for six computers.
I don't bother to network them in the traditional sense. Mine do NOT need to talk to each other. Only to get the Internet access... HTH, Rick Glazier From: "Veech"
Can two separate computers in two different rooms at my house plug into a phone jack and share one DSL/phone line? Or do they have to be networked?
