Well, going to get a HUB and see if it actuly get this thing working.

I'm told that it's not the computers fault but the aDSL provider, and a HUB should solve the problem

if he's usin ics then a hub cause if he gets a router then he won't be using ics
so go for the router a linksys for instance will be setup by default to work propper with net shareing. just set both your comps to auto get ip address plug them into slots 1, and 2 on router, plug inet modem to wan slot in router bam done online.

If he's using ICS, there's no reason to get a hub because he's only connecting one other computer, and that just puts a piece of equipment into the problem.

But yes, a router is the way to go.

idiot.

you dont have a CIRCUIT CITY in your area? Poor bastard. they sell those, and theres no shipping. mine, i got from teh military base.

I hope you finally figure out that turning off ICS is the way to go.

TopCat: Shut up. All you've managed to do in here is to create confusion for him, with your talk of bridging connections and crossovers. He came here for help, got confused, followed the first advice given, and has learned a lesson. You're not so smart, either, it would seem.

Besides, he's not even in the United States, so no, there would appear to be no CC near him since CC does not appear to operate outside of the US.

He never mentioned his location. And, We've never actually determined whether he's using ICS or not, grimace brought it up and now he's been saying hes got it, he doesnt have it, a lot of stuff. I was thinking about the situation.

If he had one of those dsl modems which also connect via usb, he could connect it to his computer over usb (1.5megabits, isnt usb? if its usb2.0 on both, then there is no worries). and connect the OTHER two over crossover in their NIC's. one piece of crossover is cheeper than a router, i think. however, it may not be the right length, and I dont know if theres any connectors which will do internal crossover of cat5. I'm thinking of something that looks like this

which basically is just a connector which does crossover. Heck, if he cant get one like that, he could get a crossover and a straight-through connector. It's just my insane ideas.

[quote="DJ TopCat";p="122245"]He never mentioned his location.[/quote]
It's in his sig, and if there's any doubt, in his profile.

And, We've never actually determined whether he's using ICS or not

He also said he had done all the things I had first recommended, which included ICS.

USB 1.1 is 12Mbit, and I have no clue where you're going with the rest of your comment.

It's a fact, I'm a French speaking Canadian who can't type proper english.
Bored? Nothing better to do for a few minutes? http://www.bajah.com/moussy

You might recognize the CANADIAN Peter Jennings, living in the USA.

How about the Canadian alex trabek? They're canadians, but they dont live in canada.

Now, his profile does rectify the situation, but his sig doesnt. I don't check everyones profiles. Sorry. However, I am sure they have technology stores in canada. OH well, fuck it.

I was also trying to point out that he didn't HAVE to have two nics in one pc. The rest of the comment was to point out how to solve the problem by only buying another cable.

And yes, i remember now, usb1.1 is 12 megs. I dont remember why I was thinking 1.5megabits.

EDIT: i've been out of it for the past week, dont worry. I'll regain my brain in time.
