Using a Telkom Mega 100WR router as a hub?

[Steve-o]

Hi guys,

well, can it be done?

I'll explain my setup at home and what I want to do.

Got 2 PC's connecting to the internet through different ISP accounts via the router. Both Ethernet.
In addition I want to use the router as a hub so I can share files and what not, basically setup a home LAN through the router but not disrupting the internet access.

What will this entail?

Both at the same time? Over one telkom line? I don't think you can connect with two isp accounts at once like that. Using the router as a hub for the pc's is fine, everything will work as normal.

PC's running their own PPPoE client -- router in half-bridge mode = TWO ISP's

Anything plugged into the ETH ports on the router will be able to communicate if on the same subnet

To be pedantic -- it is a SWITCH NOT a HUB -- switch = each port it's own COLISSION DOMAIN

Just TRY IT.

Ok, good news to hear it can be done. How would I go about this? One PC has XP and the other Win7, both are 32 bit.
