I can do you have 2 ethernet cards?
Just highlight both, right click and bridge connection

I've never ever got it working on Vista. (tried 3 different PCs.)

Ubuntu linux never worked either and XP has worked half of the time.

Are you sure thats not a telephone splitter or am I missing something here?

I highly doubt that will work. You do really need a network switch/ hub. Here is a cheap one: http://www.misco.co.uk/applic[....]tails.asp?EdpNo=236063&CatId=0

^^^

I can concur, it won't work. These things only work by utilizing the spare 4 wires in an 8-wire CAT 5e socket. You'd need another splitter at the other end, with the resulting two cables going into a hub or router as they would if you'd ran them separately.

They don't act like a hub or router unfortunately.

Should do

Have you got a suitable power supply for it? The auction says no PSU?

The one that you are bidding on is only 10 Base T so will be really slow. You really should get a 10/100 hub/switch.
