Hi
If I but a SMC barricade, can I share my cable modem connection without setting up a LAN. The reason for this is because if I set up a LAN one computer will have to be on all the time as long as I want to use the other computer to surf the net.
What I want is to be able to use any computer at anytime without having the main computer on to surf the net. Is that what the barricade router does? Please help me with this one because I am very confused.
Thanks
