    Default Not a problem but a question - can i do this

    Ok got two PC's networked but also have XboX and Cube that i want to get into the system as well, is there any point in also hooking up my PS2?

    So i can only use one at time and want to know if it is possible and worthwhile doing this.

    Getting a secong netwrk card in my PC and only pluggin in one console at a time. BUT i was considering having it set up so i have different log ins for the XboX and Cube.

    I was thinking this woundering if i am able to set up a log in so it has different IP settings and only talks to part of the drive, having everything else hidden one for the XboX and one for the Cube.

    Or should i get a router etc etc and have everything plugged in ready to go. If that is the case where do i stand on all the different IP settings needed for teh different consoles?

    Thanks for any help or sugestions.

    Cheers.....Q

    buy yourself a router with a 4 port switch built in, plug everything into that including your internet connection and it should all work fine

    problem:- 3 consoles+2pc = more than 4 ports
    soloution:- try to find a router with more ports, but these are hard to find, or get a one port router and plug a switch into it, or get the 4 port and put your pcs in it then have a cable running to behind the tv where you could put another cheap switch and plug the 3 consoles onto that

    for ip settings just enable dchp on the router and get everything to use that
