Hi all

I am not very knowledgably about routers and all their functions.
But is it possible to have an ADSL/NAT Router with a firewall which can have different active accounts for different Ethernet ports which lead to PC's on a local network? mm a mouthful ...[;)]

So I would have for instance one PC connected to the router that is connected to a capped account and another PC which is connected to an uncapped account.

Thanks.[:)]

Jon Snow, you're a fan of George R.R. Martin's work I would venture?

Okay, I'm not very knowledgeable on the subject but I'm guessing you just need a PPPOE client for each PC on the network?

Not if you are using a router. All you need is a network card and working TCP/IP setup.
