Arrow Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I'm an existing ntl/virgin phone customer and spoke to virgin about having their broadband installed and they say 98se won't work with their cable modem, is this true and if so what is the difficulty, or is it Virginspeak for we don't offer any support for 98se connection problems?The 98se pc is a pentium3 with an intel® Pro/100 VM network connection.The other pc is a P4 with XP with a network card, I don't need wireless and have no wish to file and printer share between the two pc's so what is the simplest and cheapest way to go for connecting them both up to broadband?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 (edited) 98se used to work with NTL before they were virgin, i dont see why it still would not?. the best way to get around this one may be to have 2 NICS in the xp machine and a crossover between the 2 machines and then to run ics (internet connection sharing) on the xp machine and share the internet connectionEDIT: sorry not the best way, but the cheapest way is definatley ics. the best way would be a cable router of course Edited April 16, 2007 by eyeball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Thanks eyeball, think of the two I'll go for the cable router routewhich one do you recommend that is at the affordable end but reliable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 well personally i always use zyxel products but they are not the cheapest. You get what you pay for really, try ebuyer.co.uk (i guess your in the uk?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
