Re: Getting DSL on 2 computers

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

Router, switch, or hub, any of these would serve the purpose. Basically, the connection goes to the device, which is connected in turn to both machines. A hub is the simplest, basically allowing the machines to communicate through its uplink. A router or switch are more intelligent devices, and would be my preference.
