Hi

I would like to be able to share the ADSL interent connection with the 2
pc's I have in the home but I would also like to share files between each
PC.

I have wired the house up with Cat 5 cable sometime ago and never got round
to setting everything up.

What do I need? I have been looking at the item below which has a number of
good reviews but I don't know if I will be able to share files using that.

Ebuyer 4 Port SPI Firewall ADSL Modem Router

Any ideas would really help.

Thanks
John

Hi John


The item you show here is

The company who make this are

Safecom Technologies Limited

For me I would probably look for a slightly more well known brand.
