Hi, How does one get two computers working with one time warner cable internet account?
My guess is that one can do this with a router. Is that right? What else is needed? How hard is this to hook up? I assume googling is the best way to get instructions on how the details of to do this? Or should it just work if you plug in the wires to right places? Here is some background: My girlfriend has time warner cable internet - she's more of an artist than a technical person. She is getting a housemate and thinks it will be an added plus to offer them cable internet. When the time warner cable person came to do some other work (e.g. getting telephone service via time warner) he said that to have another computer would cost twice as much as her current cable internet. Trying to be helpful, I said, hrm sounds like you could get around the pay twice as much issue by getting a router. Not knowing how quick she was to act, her current housemate went out and bought the router, but things aren't working yet. She and current housemate both have Mac OS-X's. Who knows what her new housemate will have. What if her new housemate wants, gasp, Winblow$? Can OS-X and Winblo$ live on the same router? Does Time Warner frown on router use? (Note: Basic simple jargon free answers are best for me. I am not quite linux saavy enough to install my own linux. Definitely not up for recompiling my kernel. But I like to use apt-get install, awk, etc...Maybe I am not technically saavy enough to be helpful with her and her router?)
