yes, depends what you play though

2 PC's in the same building? Yes. Basic level: Windows' built in Internet Connection Sharing does the job rather well, if you're on a budget... or just lazy I've been running that at home since pre-launch iBurst days and I still don't feel any need to change to a router based setup.

It will depend if you are going to use wireless on the PCs or not (wireless you will have to have some sort of router or AP).

Router can setup the connection to iBurst, sharing the connection to the computers. (currently using this)
You can let a computer setup the connection, connect the AP to the computer, and enable ICS in Windows for the other computer (used this on my ISDN line a couple of years ago)

oh and when are they upgrading to 2mbps????

As soon as they upgrade their base stations to 100mb/s capacity. However, I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.

Guys he isn't asking if you can play LAN games while both both PC's are on iBurst for no reason.

The question is whether the one iBurst connection is enough to have both PC's play online without too much lag. For DOTA, yes. Perhaps for Guild Wars.. but otherwise it really depends what you want to play. Having it local would help a lot, and a FPS most likely not.

GW works fine with multiple connections...

projectx, once I have been able to connect my router to my iburst to carry more than one pc, I would be able to let you know how it works. I play bf2 and bf2142 (fps), so it should give you a definitive answer...

So when do you buy that 2nd router ?
