It isn't possible to make a second connection to the internet with a standard Speedtouch Home modem. You must set up a Dial Up connection to your modem and then the modem provides you the internet. If you want to use the internet with another computer you must wait, or set up an internet server. The problem is that the internet server must be online for 24h a day, otherwice you can't use the internet.

If you switch the modem to a Pro modem (do the hack) you will be able to use a switch/hub to provide internet to everyone in your own home network!

The new situation what you get is illustrated on the right.

If you hack the modem you'll get some intressting benefits.

• Sharing the internet
  Share the internet with multiple pc's



• Your internet is 'always on'
  Just start up your pc and you have internet!



• You don't need a firewall
  you say where the traffic must go to!

Yes, there are also some disadvantages with the hack.

• Some program's won't work probably
  Like Netmeeting



• Your waranty will expire
  But you can turn the hack back!
