Hiya all,
Im a complete noob when it comes to this (as you can prob tell from my previous posts)
I bought a set of Belkin Powerline AV Networking Adapters
now my set up is, my PC only has one ethernet port and my virgin modem (scientific atlanta) has one ethernet port
I have unplugged the ethernet lead from the pc to modem
i have attached one lead from the modem to the first adaptor which is in the bedroom (pc is no longer connected to modem)
I have attached one ethernet cable to an adapter in the sitting room to the box
I went to system then network
Lan adapter is connected
local network is connected
DHCP is connected
IP address is unconfirmed
name server is unconfirmed
any help please?
also, as I now have to unplug the ethernet connection (modem to homeplug) then reinsert another ethernet connection (PC to modem) to get internet access on my PC, should I now but a router so I can have internet on PC while home plugs can still be connected to modem?
what router is best if I need one?
hope this all sounds stright forward
thanks in advance
Johnny
