3 NIC cards..2 computers...

[jjoel]

i was wondering if its possible to connect 2 computers to 1 cable modem using 3 NIC cards. one computer has to NIC cards. cable modem goes in, the other nic card is the output and goes to the second computer. so is this possible? if its possible how would i configure this? i have 2 computers. 1 is a windows 98 machine 1 is a xp machine both are running more than 1 ghz. thanks

I don't know if it is possible, but when you can buy a router or switch for less that $20, is it really worth it to try???

Yes, it most defintely is possible and pretty easy. Its cheaper and just as easy as buying a hub. One nic using the internet connection and the other nic using a crossover cable going to the other computer. Configure internet connection sharing on the computer with 2 nics.

Save your penny's and buy a router. ICS is no joy and both PC's have to be on for it to work. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean its the best way.....
