How can I share my connection? (#1069)
I suggest surfing over to Practicallynetworked.com. They have set up a site that goes into great detail about internet connection sharing. You might also want to visit DSLR's networking forum. feedback form by Lex Luthor last modified: 2002-03-04 14:53:35
Can I share my connection with only a HUB? (#1070)
No. OOL will assign you one IP per cable modem. There is no possible way (without additional sharing software such as ICS/Wingate) for you to plug your cable modem into a hub and have multiple pcs access the internet at the same time. If you want to have multiple PCs online at the same time, you must either get a router, a software sharing solution or buy additional modems each with one additional IP (extra charge from OOL applies). feedback form by Lex Luthor last modified: 2003-01-11 14:29:55
Am I allowed use a router to share my connection? (#1068)
Yes. OOL support will probably ask you to remove the router if you call for support, but you don't have to hide the fact that you have one. It isn't frowned upon one bit and is not a violation of the TOS. feedback form by Lex Luthor last modified: 2002-03-04 14:52:59
Can I use my modem at another location? (#1072)
OOL validates paid service by using the MAC address of the modem. If you have a modem that has its MAC address registered with OOL, it should work anywhere in OOL territory (as long as there is no filter on the line and OOL service is available at that site). That being said, you may very well be violating your TOS and doing this might subject you to service cancellation. feedback form by Lex Luthor last modified: 2002-03-04 14:54:45
