    Hello,

        I've just spent the past four hours trying to get my two computers
    to use the one ethernet port on the back of my 2wire Home portal, which
    serves as a router and DSL modem. I bought a 10base T splitter from
    radioshack, brought it home, and hooked it up. After a bit of tinkering,
    I got my old computer to work, but my new one wouldn't. After four
    hours, I've tried every trick I can think of, and some I didn't think
    of, to no avail. My new computer /refuses/ to work when I use the
    splitter. I've tried switching the wires around, re-adding the
    ethernetcard 5 or 6 times for each compter, played with the 2wire
    settings, played with the hosts, route, and network services. Is there
    something I'm overlooking? Do I need some exotic network service? Or is
    the splitter just crappy?

    This is taken from my system log. It's what appears when I attempt to
    activate eth0.

    Jan 25 14:47:30 localhost kernel: eth0: Media Link On 10mbps half-duplex
    Jan 25 14:47:32 localhost dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to
    255.255.255.255 port 67
    Jan 25 14:47:36 localhost dhclient: DHCPREQUEST on eth0 to
    255.255.255.255 port 67

    Jan 25 14:48:01 localhost dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to
    255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 10
    Jan 25 14:48:11 localhost dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to
    255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 20
    Jan 25 14:48:31 localhost dhclient: DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to
    255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 17
    Jan 25 14:48:48 localhost dhclient: No DHCPOFFERS received.

    Help?

    Thanks,
    Nicholas Evans
