BT is nice but max 1mbit that sucks OK BT network is no solution ... hmm what do I do now .... damn lets go sleep

OK,

now I got another question ... If I buy a normal network switch capable to handle DSL line what happens if I connect 2 PCs to the hab and the DSL connection ... can both PCs access the internet with same IP or does one PC has network IP
for example is it possible to recieve file via trillian or not ?

its in my case the best solution .... then I just need a hub and one more network cable ...

and am I right ....
AUTO MDIX means that equal if I connect a crossover or normal CAT cable it will work ...

This is a Little complicated for me to understand reading on forum. BTW , i do network settings for offices , so i think i can help you, please PM me on ICQ for detailed synopsis.

... BT is dead for me ... thats no solution .... now the only question is ....

I have 2 PCs and DSL modem ....

today it is ....

my PC is sonnected via PPPoE to DSL modem and via crossover cable to the other PC ...
now I want to move with my PC into another room ....
this means @ my current position I want to place a DSL / network hub ...
which means
room 1 = 2nd PC --crossover--> hub(room2) --CAT--> room 3 my PC
also to hub goes DSL modem

nowadays I have my internet IP as any normal PC user with a modem and the 2nd PC has due ICS a network IP and another person can not directly connect to it ... e.g. you can send files via trillian but not recive them ...

now what happens if i and the 2nd PCs are connected to internet via the hub ... do both PC now have a network IP or do i still need to enable ICS which means the 2nd cable = modem and network connection in one ... or do both PCs have an internet IP and you can directly connect to both of them ... e.g. via trillian file transfer

thx

Take a DSL Router with an integrated hub / switch

I will ....
now the only question left ....

can i connect a router or switch via crossover cable to the PC or is a normal CAT.5 cable needed ?

That s a good question, if the router has an uplink you can use a crossover.
Ask in the routerforum which i mentioned in our chat

hehe
I will

you can use a straight cable to connect PC to router.
Hubs / Switchs / Routers, automatically cross the connection they put into it, thats why you use a straight cable, as opposed to PC to PC where the connections arent crossed, so you have the NIC talking to the same port on the other NIC which, it cant understand, so you use a cross cable to cross the 1 connections, sent to receive.

sure .... but when I use a cross cable and the connection is doublecrossed will the router detect it and say ... ups doublecrossing ... lets uncross it by sending it normal and let the cable cross it ...
I ask because I already have one crossover cable for the connection now .... do I need to replace it / buy one or can I just add one more

Well, your trying to connect 2 routers.
there for you have
2 crossed connections,
your going to need to cross that connection

Cuz if you use a straight cable, your going to go,
send - send
and
receieve - receieve

BUT if you cross those crossed connections

send - receieve
and
receieve - send

I hope this helps you understand what your up against
