[quote][i]Originally posted by Melville[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by BlueCorsa[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Melville[/i] sorry to invade your thread but...... at the moment I have 8 computers all connected via a switch and one is connected to the net which has to be on all the time. Im trying to get away from this and have been looking into some routers. How does the internet actually "connect" if you use a router as at the moment with BT you have to click "connect" to the remote computer. Thanks for any advice :thumbs: [/quote] The modem/router usually has a web-interface that you point your browser to, put your settings in (like ISP username/password) and then click connect. You can just leave the Router on all the time, connected to the ADSL and just restart the router every few weeks or so (just like you restart your PC/server every so often). I have an ADSL modem/router combined, connected to an 8-port hub, with an 802.11 Access Point which serves 2 laptops, and 2 other computers connected to the wired hub + Playstation 2. Also got Print Server connected to the 8-port hub to share printer out on the network. Tariq [/quote] Cheers mate. One other question. The modem I got with BT is USB. Can I connect this to a router or is it best to buy another modem that has rj35 on it?? Cheers [/quote]
