Hi
I need some help but not sure if this is the right place,anyway I'm not looking for free broadband but to use mine on another computer. I have recently been given a VM/Ambit 256 modem wich is the same as the box that I use. I thought that I could maybe use it on my grandsons PC upstairs. I used a splitter and ran a cable up to his PC and connected it up but it did'nt work. I tried my modem and it worked fine. I also tried my daughters modem(she lives several miles away) and that also worked. The person who gave me the modem said that it worked OK for him.
Can anyone tell me if I can get this working and what is needed or will I have to set up a network using a router?
Any help will be appreciated.
Cheers
