I am no network expert, but it depends on what you are using to connect
your Iyo to your ADSL phone line.
Here I use a thing commonly called a 'Router', which connects one side to
the phone line, and the other side to a network cable to my Iyonix.
However, it also allows 3 other network cables to be plugged in from
other computers: they can access each other AND the broadband link.
In addition, Routers often also have a wireless link, which allows one or
more computers to connect in (to each other and ADSL) wirelessly - very
useful for laptops.
You may have something often called (wrongly) an 'ADSL Modem' which only
allows one computer to connect via a cable, plus the phone line
connection. This would be a problem!
So, we need some more information from you!
