Daft question - Router + Uni

VaderDSL · 24 Mar 2006 at 19:38

I am at university, as such my main PC is hooked up into an RJ45 faceplate on the wall.

Is it possible to use my old router (Draytek Vigor 2600) to share this internet connection to two PC's?

yeah had to register the MAC of my main PC. I'll have a play around, cheers

Ok to access the internet here at Uni I have to register a MAC address with the network, easy enough to work around that.

I get an IP address assigned automatically yes, only thing is I am not sure how yo go about getting my router to work, I Can hook up my 2 pc's and the router to the faceplate via Cat5 cables, the two pcs can see each other fine, it's just accessing the internet which I am unable to get working.

I forgot to mention I'm trying to use it solely as a switch but am having no luck atm

Best option's probably to ask the support folks at your university.

aye true

just they are often very hard to get hold of, I'll have another play - but if all else fails I can still use ICS from one PC to another, but it's a bit more clumsy for what I need.
