hi all. trying to help setup my sister's internet cable modem sharing in each rooms.
I have decided not to use the router method. can I use this following method...I will try draw it best as I can.
Cable modem ----connect to ---> Hub/Switch ----> then PC1, PC2, PC3 etc
I remember have tried to use this method back in win98 days on my own network but it didnt work. does XP have new internet sharing that makes this work? I know this way may require buying 2nd IP, but is there a way using software so I dont need to buy 2nd IP?
thanks all
