    Need Some Help

    I have a laptop and a home PC. Each has a separate adsl modem.
    Is it possible to connect them both to a single adsl filter using a double adaptor type thingy :rolleyes:
    If not wot do you all suggest.
    I only have one BT point in this room
    thanks

    nope - 2 modems u'd need 2 lines.


    Either :

    1) buy a long cross-over patch lead, then on the PC, share out it's internet connection and connect the laptop/PC with the lead creating a mini network

    2) buy a new wifi/router/modem and a wifi card for the laptop (if it doesn't have wifi) then u can you use your laptop anywhere - great for when you're having a shite :up:*



    *so i've been told

    It is possible if you connect the two ps's using a Crossover RJ45 cable and connect one of the pc's to tinternet.

    or

    If one of you modems has a RJ45 connection (looks like a phone connector but bigger) you could use a Router (without an ADSL modem built in) to connect both computers to tinternet.

    or

    You could use an ADSL router.

    For all of the above you'll need a network card in each computer.

    Just googled and here's a site to give you more of an idea. Clicky :)
