thechuckster Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane Registered: February 2003	Re: Connecting pc to pc Wed, 17 March 2004 13:06 um you'll really need a router to share a broadband modem via a 12port switch to your two (or more) computers. otherwise one of your insecure PC's has to share it's connection to the other PC's and the PC doing the sharing will need two ethernet ports, one for the mode, the other to go to the switch. Do not simply hook the modem up to a hub and share from there. i found it safer to: get the installer to connect the broadband to the PC via the ethernet port, when he/she has gone, unplug all their hard work, plug the modem into a router (get something from ht.com.au or a cheapo computer store), plug router into switch, plug all computers into the switch, configure the PCs to DHCP off the router, configure the router (usually via a web page) to either DHCP off the modem (for optus) or PPPoE with hearbeat (for telstra/foxtel). why? if your PC doing the sharing dies, so does sharing... PC's are insecure and prone to viruses, worms and users... routers have basic firewall, NAT, filtering built in and on by default...because this works without any need for complex configuration on your workstation(s)...because cable routers are damn cheap these days so you probably won't even need your switch... because you can leave this running 24/7 without risking your security (unless you PC is already infected before doing any of this).
