Hi, I have cable modem service in my apartment. I am not given a fixed IP address. The service assigns an IP address to me dynamically. (I heard it names DHCP or something?) When I bought this service I had it hooked to my desktop PC. Now I bought an another laptop and I need to use both computers at the same time. Is there any way I can link these two computers to Internet simultaneously? I heard I can buy an another gadget that have two outlets for two computers. However, I know nothing details about it. Would anybody help to show what I should buy and how to install all things up and get things done? Also, should I make any change to the configurations of IP address and DNS server addresses? Or any other setup has to be changed? Thanks a lot! Barb
