Ethernet "splitter"
Hi
Seems to be some confusion in my last post, as I didnt make myself clear
http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Technology/Ques tion485031.html
Let me start again - My BT Voyager Router 210 only has 1 x Ethernet and 1 x USB socket. I want a box that splits one ethernet cable from the router, into 2. So a little box with one connection for the router cable coming from the router which has 2 other sockets so I can plug in 2 ethernet cables into, thus allowing 2 cables into one routher (laptop and PC). Not interested in the USB, just ethernet. So like a hub with multiple connections for eternet.
Cheers

Hi again
you can't do what you describe ... with an "adapter" - you need an ethernet hub/switch
If you have a pc with two ethernet cards you could use sharing ...(ICS)
but its fiddly
my previous answer stands ... you need a hub/switch .... the smallest I've seen is a 4 port hub/switch - if it's just to share an internet connection ... get a cheap one ... if you want to swap files ... pay a little more.
this should be adequate for your needs

connect it to your router ... connect PCs to it
or for more choice
