resopalrabotnick Posted June 17, 2006 CID Share Posted June 17, 2006 i gather you are referring to using the usb and ethernet connector on the modem to connect to two computers. no it won't work. easy fix: go to store. buy router. hook up router to modem via ethernet. connect both comps to router vie ethernet. problem solved. neither of the comps is slowed down by the crappy ethernet connection and you gain some security if you correctly configure the router.

Swimmer Posted June 18, 2006 CID Share Posted June 18, 2006 The answer above is correct as far as the modem goes.. how ever you can network using USB or ethernet once you are off the modem.. Window Internet Connection Sharing is that you would be intersted in.
