I have a Compaq Presario 4220 with Windows 95 OSR2 using IE & OE 5.0. Since
it did NOT have a RJ 45 port OR even a vacant PCI slot to add a RJ 45 port
(Ethernet Card), I bought a USB-Ethernet Adapter LE 9050A-USB from Black
Box. This is working very well and I am happy with it.
I have now bought a new Presario 1155 pre-loaded with Windows XP Home
Edition which has both Ethernet port as well as USB ports.
I have ONLY one broadband connection and one IP address from the local ISP
which I would like to use for BOTH PC's. The ISP has advised that I can
connect upto THREE PC's which will support good speed. They have recommended
connecting the two PC's using a 10 base-T Ethernet HUB, provided NetBEUI is
enabled for the file access and sharing.
I suppose that since I have only TWO PC's and will NOT be adding any more in
my SOHO,
a 2-port HUB should meet my requirements. What would you recommend?
Thanking you in advance.
Kind regards
