even sillier cable modem sharing question....

[bleedink]

heres an even sillier question but here it goes. id like to share a cable modem connection btw 2 computers...ez enuf...heres the catch...one is is relatively new the other isnt so new and doesnt have a network card...do i have any other options...the other comp does have a usb port...is there a way to share btw those? I have a cable modem that only supports ethernet b/c i have linerunner on there as well...im trying to get out of this on the cheap and dont wanna invest in a router unless ab neccessary...thanks!!!

im pretty sure that older computer would need a network card!!

(correct me if im wrong)

I would buy a network card for it myself, shoot they are less than 15 bucks. 😉

There is a linksys router that has a usb port, now if its used for the internet i dont know.😎

 

[vdubVR6]

but you would be better off using a network card, i would think.

who here uses the rogers network card?

network card would be the best way to go and the cheapest. but there is a ethernet to usb adapter for networking made by linksys. i have used it successfully in the past but its like 30 bucks i think.

you decide which is best for you
