Can I connect more than one computer to my BritePort 8012-V1?
Yes. The BritePort 8012-V1 has a USB port and an Ethernet RJ45 port — connect one computer
to the Ethernet RJ45 port and other computer to the USB port. Thus two computers can share the
same DSL line and have different IP addresses. However, for the assignment of IP addresses and
configuration, you should talk to your service provider. Also, if your ISP requires login
authentication, you need two different User Names and Passwords.
You can connect BritePort’s Ethernet port to a hub, bridge, or router and then connect a few
computers to the hub, bridge, or router. Thus you can have many computers sharing the same
DSL line.
