There is a guy im trying to help get his cable internet connection shared between two computers. He says that his cable modem is connected to a router or hub( he wasnt able to specify, he said that it was compaq netilligent or somthing like that) and that that hub/router is connected to both computers through network card but he can only access the internet through one computer. I told him that in order to share the internet connection he needed 2 network cards in the host computer, one connected to the internet and one connected to the second computer.
He said that he recalled that the computers used to share internet connection connected in the say way that they are connected today, having the modem connected to the router/hub and then the two computers connected to the hub. But he said that one of the computers needed to be turned on if the other computer wanted to use the internet. This made me guess that he was sharing the connection with one computer as host and the other as client. But how do you do this only with one network card in the host computer?
