A few days ago had to buy new DSL modem. Have tried w/o luck to link 2 computer 'network' with Ethernet cable from each, linked to two port RJ-45 connections on the Netgear Ethernet Hub EN104TP. The Motorola (style "MSTATEA") DSL modem is linked to EN104TP, port 4 (Rx), with Ethernet cable, as well. DSL modem is connected w/ 'purpose' cable, provided by manufacturer, directly to a filter at the phone jack The iMac (10.3.9) will work w/ direct link to modem, but not through EN104. The HP netbook, Windows 7, will work w/ direct link AND through EN104. What's up? Previously had loaner Belkin Router and Mac worked fine with that, as did HP.
