Cable -> Cable Modem -> Router

Amiga-> Router <-PC


A friend of mine had a similar problem, but the router he used only allowed 1 PC to connect to the internet... As soon as another PC tried to get net acces the other would be thrown of.. Depends a little on the router I guess.


Quick fix, connect the Amiga to the PC, put another NIC in the PC and conect that to the router;

So like this;

Amiga -> PC (Nic 1)
                  PC (Nic 2)-> router -> cable modem.

Don't forget to share the internet conection on the PC, you may need a hub or a crosscable to connect the Amiga with the PC.

If you mean the "router" is a "hub" then it would look more like this;

Amiga -> hub -> PC (Nic 1)
                              PC (Nic 2) -> cable modem

Just 2 cents.
