This will assign IP addresses to all units connecting through the above switch/hub etc.
Some time ago I think it was 3-com made a 'splitter' for a LAN port Had 1 male RJ45 and 2 female RJ45 connections - assuming you can get your paws on such a beast and your orange router will assign IP addresses etc you should be home and dry.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22153147 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:03:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22148744 anon : thanks people, i shall research switches and see if i can get hold of one]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22148744 Sun, 29 Mar 2009 18:14:41 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22148711 Johkal : You can buy an inexpensive 4-port switch which will plug into your router's ethernet port and will give you 4 ports to use.

I have a router that i got free from orange that only has one ethernet port. I have a xbox and laptop that requires the same port. Is there anyway to get a splitter or something so that i can use the xbox and internet at the same time?

is there any way around this situation
