PPPoE on both comps simultaneously?

[outta.service]

Hello there!

I'm new on the forum and was wondering if anyone could help me. I didn't happen to find much help anywhere else.
Roomie and I are sharing PPPoE connection [wired to switcher to other switcher for the whole house - 4 more ports - to wireless antenna]. That is, I use it - log in with our account, while she doesn't - and round. What I was wondering is if we could be online at the same time.

Her PC is pretty old and had some bad pack of WindowsXP, so i tried installing Ubuntu on hers, as I remember us going online in the same time, while I had Ubuntu.... and it's not working. I'm not much open to replace W7, since I got pretty used to it, and I don't think her PC would manage to swallow such a big bite.

I heard some rumors that, no matter which OS you use, there is only one way for this kind of connection to work on two comps - using some ftp servers or something, but I have noooooo idea about how and does it really work...

Thank you in advance good overclockers

Simple answer, get a router and give it the PPoE login details, plug both computers into router and don't "log in" to anything on either PC.

You gotta be kidding me???

Why is it the easiest solution always the best
Are you completely positive it will work that way? How do I give a router PPoE details? By logging in via its ip address?
I will try it as soon as I get a router, since we got a switcher Silly, I know.

Sorry... Like I said.. I'm noob
