One small correction Micro, they don't share an i.p. address, that would be a networking fubar !! They typically are no more than a 'dumb switch' which passes the traffic back to the router, which in turn gives each device its unique i.p. address via DHCP.

Same principle, but way different in the land of 0's and 1's !!!

That is correct Duit.

The switch allows ,multiple machines to hook up to it but they share an IP address.

BAP, how many machines do you need to hook up and will you do so with a cable or wirelessly?

I use a TP Link wireless router. It allows me to plug my office computer into it with a cable while sending a signal out so I can connect to it on the far side of the house with a network adapter wirelessly.

Both machines fold.

Here is a wired router for you!

Free shipping. Will hook up 7 computers

Now, here is a wireless router, which you can still hook up by cable to the rear ports.

and a Netgear wireless router:

Any of these will fix you right up BAP!

the best,

micro...
