[QUOTE="theblob, post: 15502, member: 175520"] hi i have also got a motorola surfboard 4100 but on ntls 1mb service. i have 2 computers that i would like to enable to connect to the net at the same time 1 is desktop with ethernet card installed and connected to modem s ethernet port the second comp is a laptop connected via usb to the modem. I can access the net on both machines but not at the same time and also i have to reset the modem by removing power and reconnecting when i want to switch computers. I read on motorolas website that this configuration is posible but you will have to contact your cable supplier to enable the modem for multi user configuration. Well sent three emails to ntl and guess what no reply. I would buy a network card for my laptop but ive had them before and the break really easy the connector for the cable is so delicate. I have thought about the wireless network option but it seems very expensive. If anyone has any ideas as to what i could do i would be very thankfull for your advice. :D [/QUOTE]
