sharing roadrunner connection?

[gar598]

currently I have two comp. hooked up to a hub - only one is working - I can get the other working if I turn off the other and restart.

is it possible?

If you are using a Hub that the way it should work.

However, read the following, to make it better.

Link: AnandTech - FAQ. Basic Options for Internet Connection Sharing

Link: AnandTech - FAQ. Hubs, routers, switches, DSL, LANs, WANs...?

yep, it's all in ze FAQ's...

Regarding roadrunner in particular, you can use the hub if you pay roadrunner for a second IP address ($7/mo, I think)

You don't have to do this. I've had RR for over a year and been sharing 3 machines on a single IP through a hub. They don't really care (at least where I live they don't) unless you're trying to run a webserver or something and use up a lot of bandwidth.

what kinda of setup do u have? As I said before, I just have each setup dhcp and only one will work at a time using the previously described method.

You need a Router.
