I am not sure if this is in the right place?
I have this modem: Motorola 5b 5100
It is currently hooked up to my desktop computer via ethernet cable...Do I need to unplug the desktop or is it possible to hook up a laptop too? I see that there is a usb port (on the modem) that is not currently being utilized...would this work to leave the desktop connected and connect the laptop via usb cable?
Another question....Is it possible to get a virus from hooking up the laptop to the modem? Or, Can a virus/infection of some sort transfer from the desktop to the laptop if they are both hooked up to the same modem?
I am a bit of a worry wort when it comes to viruses...I am starting a photography website and want to share photos...I worry about spreading viruses to others so I want to be sure that my laptop is clean .
Any help is greatly appreciated!
