Okay, I have a macbook that can feed internet via crossover cable to my PC desktop and a PC desktop belonging to my brother. I'd like to be able to give them both internet at once, so if I use two crossover cables and one of these little bastards— CABLES TO GO, 37133 2-PORT RJ45 SPLITTER/COMBINER http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812196451&Tpk=CABLES TO GO, 37133 2-PORT RJ45 SPLITTER/COMBINER Can I plug that into the macbook, plug two crossover cables into it, and feed internet to both desktops simultaneously?
doesn't exactly work that way. check this video out and it will explain... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yJFLElDPCA instead just get a wireless router for like $30. even though it says wireless it will have 4 ports on the back to hard-wire a connection. this way you can allow a separate device to manage the network and internet sharing and not your computer. this will allow all 3 of you and 1 more to join in on the internet at the same time wired or wireless.
