Can you split the net and make it run fine?
Alright...I was wonering if there was a possible way to split the net. Right now I have cable going to my computer and I was wanting to get the PS2 Online Adapter. I was wondering if it was possible to split it so that the net goes to both the computer and to the PS2 and if the net will still work ok.

I was wondering if it was also ok if this happened if a person could be on the net on the comp and using the net for the ps2 at the same time...

THANKS

You just need a router for it. It'll work fine.

Not even... you have cable internet? I have a TV and modem hooked to the same cable and I just use a regular splitter... 1 in, 2 out.

That's different isn't it? They're not the same connection. They're each going to separate things completely... If you want to split the -internet-, I believe you need a router. Don't quote me on that, but I think that's how it works.

Yeah you can't split your internet connection by splitting the cable. Unless you bought a whole other cable modem. And I highly suggest NOT to split your cable as it weakens the signal and you can't get full performance out of them.

You need a router. You'll internet will run fine if someone is playing PS2 and on the computer at the same time.

say you have a cake and you want to spread it evenly with 2 people

if you use anything but a router, 80% of the cake goes on the floor, 10% to 1 person, 10% to the other

if you use a router, you'll both get 100% of the cake



dont' use anything but a router man, it's just stupid, i've got 2 computers, 1 wireless laptop, and soon my ps2 all running smoothly at the same time due to my router

a good router company is linksys (pretty sure it's one of the best) try that or d-link.. if i'm giving bad companies, someone just post lol, but i really think these 2 companies run the public/personal/non-business market for routers

I just wish I could get a router made specially for a TV cable connection so that I wouldn't have to use a splitter if I wanted cable to two TVs..

Shit, I'm on this computer, my brother's playing playstation 2 online, my other brother is playing xbox live, and my dad is online on his laptop. None of us ever complain about slowdown.

Seeing as we're on the subject I was wondering if one of you could help me out. Now I'm not the smartest guy with computers so bear with me I recently bought a router and I'm having a few problems. I was just wondering, with the ethernet port, one end goes into the router right? and then does the other end just go into the back of the other PC?

the one that says "WAN" at the back, or the one that is totally different from the others (usually there's 4 others), the different one connects to ur DSL/Cable modem or whatever gets you on the net... and the other 4 go to the back of the computers you're using
