trying to get to networking

[nubbin]

Hi Everbody
I have just signed up with dsl and want to run two computers on the internet at the same time.
My question is what is the difference between a dual speed hub and routers and which one do i need to buy this is all new to me and i don't want to buy the wrong thing. Thanks a bunch. Nubbin

A dual speed HUB is one that supports both standards 10 and 100
It allows you to connect older network cards (10mbs) and newer ones (100)at the same time

What you need to share the DSL connection is a router
It will route the net content to the system that requested it.
