1 router, 2 IP addresses, 3 PC's
I presently have a Netgear RP614 router taking a cable connection and sending it to PC#1 and PC#2. Both PC's have thier own IP addresses.
I would like to connect a third PC (Windows ME) to PC#1 (Windows XP) and share files, printer and possibly the internet connection. Is this possible using the same router (two slots open)? Do I need to add another router? Where would it go? Or is there another option altogether?
PC#2 would need to remain its own entity from this connection and keep its individual IP address.
