not sure how they do that, but I can go online and watch TV at the same time...=\

EDIT: nothing wrong with the speed...

Sorry, had images disabled, so didn't see that you had posted a pic.

That's... funky. I've actually never seen that before.

Sure you can, how do you think passive hubs work?

You increase potential collisions on that segment, which will decrease throughput, but it is in fact possible.

yeah that's definitely possible, it's more or less how I have my parents computers hooked to our router.
