Hello everyone,
I tried to make my title as detailed as possible. I basically have a pretty big problem. Right now I have a LAN upstairs running like this:
Okay, right now machine 4 which is downstairs sometimes get signal from the router, and the user is pissed of. I can't blame them, sometimes the signal is there, sometimes not. It really depends. So I have thought of a alternative before getting a ethernet cable installed, phoneline lan. The only problem is that the machine 2, 98SE machine is the only one is the location to do this. I don't know if 98SE can be a router, so can someone help me? I just want all infomation to 'route' through that machine. I would have a phoneline network card in there and a ethernet card. How would I set this up, if possible?
Thank you,
