Virgin Media Connecting Two Computers
Trying to troubleshoot my parents internet connection. They use Virgin cable broadband with a wired router. This is connected to a powerline adapter that sends the connection via the ring main. They can connect their main computer (Intel IMAC) without problems via the ethernet connection, however using a second powerline adapter they cannot connect a laptop at the same time.
However if we disconnect the Mac's poweline adapter and connect their laptop (again via ethernet port) and then reset the router (off then off) then the laptop connectes okay. Then to use the Mac on the net we have to repeat this process and disconnect the laptop and reset the router again.
Can anyone shed any light on this problem? Help...
