Hi George,
Is this what it looks like?
Net - gateway - computer1 - computer2
If you have a linksys gateway, why not just plug all machines into that,
and be done with it? Is it a BEFSR41?
If you have just a gateway without the router/switch, just pick up a
cheap hub, and do this:
/ computer1
Net - gateway - hub
\ computer2
Or am I missing something fundamental in what you are trying to do?
