    Uni Halls Internet is being annoying.

    yes if you share it to the wireless it should work as the computer is basically used as a nat router, however the computer will have to be on all the time you want to use the wireless device. if you got a router the computer would not have to be turned on

    Uni Halls Internet is being annoying.

    yes and a cable router is a NAT router which basically makes all of the data go through as it is from the router, tricking the system into thinking it is just talking to one machine

    Uni Halls Internet is being annoying.

    just get a cable router and plug it in. use the mac spoofer in most firmwares to set to the mac of the laptop or if you want to be cheeky ask them to allow the mac of the router as you have 2 laptops now or a laptop and a desktop

    Virgin = fiber ??

    i was saying in relation to people saying about vm being coax for sub 500m run and it may aswell be copper. it would be good with more coverage, but do you see it in any country (US cable is only in major cities and major towns)cable is only run in profitable areas, no point in putting it in...
