[QUOTE="Barx, post: 13284, member: 121"] Right, looks like peeps are straying off the mark here. First of all the 'doubler' your on about isn't what you think it is. Basically a cat5 cable has 8 wires in 1 cable 10/100 networks only use 4. All this device does is uses the other 4 as a '2nd line' the 2 lines do not inconnect anywhere and you need the same device at the other end of the cable to split it again. All it does is allow 1 cable to do the job of 2. As for sharing the net connection. NTL (virgin) only allow 1 IP to be connected at once unless you pay them more. The easiest method to use 2 (or more machines) is to use a broadband router. Wired or wireless whichever suites the situation. All other methods require 1 PC to be on all the time when either machine wants to access t'internet. Hope this helps. BTW I have a CISCO qualification which helps with these matters. ;) [/QUOTE]
