well, if you have broad band I wouldn't worry about it anyways...
But yes. Unless you ahve one fo the computers off...
Say there is computer (1) and computer (2)
you have your modem hooked to computer 1 through a cat 5, allowing it to be on the internet.
You have a crossover cable running from computer 1 to computer 2, allowing computer 2 to be on the internet THROUGH computer 1 and also share files with computer 1.
now when I say Through. I mean..
You have to have computer 1 turned on to be able to get on the internet with computer 2.
But you dont have to have computer 2 on to get on the inter net with computer 1...
you see what I am saying? the connection is going through computer 1 so it has to be on.
So if comp. 2 doesnt work online... make sure 1 is on. lol
