    Hi all,

    I wish to share an eircom BB connection between two PCs for a friend of mine.

    Modem is the netopia one and the two computers are running Win2000, SP4.

    Is it just a case of getting a 4P(or more) hub and three straight-thru network cables?

    Modem to HUB, PC1 to HUB and PC2 to HUB in a star topology?

    Thanks.
    Dara.
