Two computers want Internet connection indepenently
Posted by Kolbotn on January 27th, 2008


How can two computers, a desktop and a laptop with Ethernetcables have
broadband access regardless of the other computer is turned on or not. We
dont want contact between the two computers or sharing of peripherals.
To use a short lead with one in and two out does not work. Both computers
get error messages.
Disconnecting the cable to one computer and a reboot gives the other one
access again.
