Thank you Andrew, we will try the first option and tell you what happens
Hi,
Sorry to jump right in the middle here.
Marie, I have seen the livebox, and I think you only have one port on the Livebox right?
You are making a bit of a complex setup, because you have two networks running like that. What I would do is to disconnect the cable you currently have, then connect the livebox to the computer via RJ45. The other computer can then use the wireless network from the livebox to talk with both the Internet and the other computer - they are on the same internal network connected through the livebox.
An alternative way is to buy a network switch. This is a piece of hardware with several ports on it, the live box plugs into one port, and you plug the other computers into the other ports on the switch. However, I suspect the other cable linking the two original computers is a crossover cable, and you need a straight-through cable with a switch.
Billy, you can certainly do this, this is the whole point of a router.
Andrew.
