That is kind of cool, but it requires two splitters (one on each side)and just uses the unused wire in the RJ45. If the original asker needs to take on port and plug in two separate computers, it will require an active hub, even if it is only two ports.... Steve Greenberg Thin Client Computing 34522 N.

I think you need 2 of them to make it work. I've never used them, but happened across them the other night in a catalog.

That is the plug that converts a single cat-5 Ethernet cable into 2 cables so I don't have to resort to a Hub or running another cable. I tried CDW but they don't have anything for less then $30 (major rip off). Matthew Shrewsbury, MCSE+Internet MCSE 2000 CCA Network Administrator
