HI,
Hope i chose the right forum.)
Here's my situation, im sure someone will have an easy answer for me.
I have one DSL connection going into a Linksys DSL router, then uplinked to a Netgear Fast Ethernet Switch which is then feeding 12 PC using win98si and three using win2000.
Up till this point all is great.
What is happening now is that there is an other small network in the back office just sharing files via their ethernet cards and file and printer sharing protocols installed. I just finished fishing cat5 cables from my tech room to there offices and now they all want that DSL connection. Theres where the problem lies.
How, without installing a second network card in each of their PC's could I have that DSL connection while still keeping their PC's networked.
More for thought, the small network in the back are connected to a 5 port router linksys router aswell.

Hope I didnt confuse you all with my blabble...
Perhaps this would help. If I feed the DSLcable into the empty port on the router, will that solve my problem.

Please let me know if I need to be more clear or if my situation doent make sence. Thanks
 
just connect which hubs together. the netgear switch with the small linksys hub. I'll try and ill let you know.
