Hi
Yr advice will be appreciated
2 computers both with ethernet cards..adsl
modem/router is "level one"with 4 ports capable of connecting 4 computers to the internet...using only the 2 ports right now
I am wondering if it is possible to network both computers, thru the router..mainly for file transfer and printer/scanner sharing...I would like to avoid buying another 2 ethernet cards and do it the old wizard way
thks

Hi nyaxea

Yes you can network your two computers through your router. The section of the router with the four internal ports is really just a hub built into the router.

My home network is set up this way.

Network though it in the normal way, if you need help please ask. BF
