Get a router with DHCP build in, its will solve your problem instantly.

Streamyx is leasing the IP for 14 or 30 days only, if you router capable to store IP & auto assign it will not be any Issue over the sharing.

But bear in your mind it will slow down, cause sharing 256k for 2 .... ;)

Cheersssssss !!!

Get a cisco router if you're rich! hahah can configure tons of stuff..

Anyways.. if u plan to run long hours on the net please make sure you install a firewall as well. Don't want your girl pictures be stolen or erased do you? ahhaha

No need get any router if you want to connect Streamyx within 2 computers only.

this is what I did at home.

PC A with ADSL modem and also 2 NIC (one for ADSL & one for LAN), PC B with one NIC. So, at the Gateway setting for PC B, I put the IP Address of PC A.

That's all.
