Question

Sharing Broadband?

Question:

In spite of BT sayng that Broadband can only be used by one PC, can you share the connection on a LAN using one of the PCs as a Gateway? Not trying to cheat here, just share the bandwidth.

I do this using Deerfield's Wingate on my Home Highway/BT Anytime setup. The speed is adequate for everday use. For downloading large files, I wait for a quiet time when only one PC is logged on.

Although I've not used Win2K's connection sharing, I imagine that the same would apply there.
