Re: [opensuse] Router? Splitter?...

Hi all,

I'm looking into getting satellite internet, since all the dial-up ISP's are
making it harder and harder for me to stay online the amount of time that I do
(I'm disabled and being on the computer is all I have to keep myself occupied
and from going insane with nothing to do).

My mom will also be sharing the satellite hookup too, so we only have to pay
for one modem etc.

My question is: What would be best to use so that all I have to do is run a
cable from her computer and one from my computer to the modem. I mean, how
should I set it up so that both of us can use the same, single satellite modem?
What would be best, and most importantly, easiest?

Also, will our opensuse 11.3 pick up this new connection readily? Or will I
have to do a bunch of cli stuff and wondering what and how to get connected?

Any advice and help with this is greatly appreciated.

The easiest way be to use a wireless router if possible to eliminate long cables unless they are in the same room then a standard router would work.
