This isn't really a case of "proper" versus "non-standard". You simply cannot have a T with twisted pair Ethernet. Every device needs a dedicated cable between it and a device on the other end.

If you are coming out of a DSL modem that does not have a built in router, then you need to buy a router to sit between the DSL modem and every other device. If the DSL modem has a built in router that just doesn't have enough ports, then you need a small switch to provide more ports. One port on the DSL modem/router to the switch, and every other port can be used for networked devices.

Again, every device must plug into it's own port on the router. Sharing is physically impossible. If you splice, you are effectively tying the transmit pairs of two or more devices together, and connecting two outputs is generally a bad idea in any system.

Thank you, Clinton, for the civil reply. That is what I was thinking but I just wanted verification.

Not less than zero. I know just enough to be dangerous. And, no. I don't call myself a data tech and I know I'm not much of a phone tech..... but I can rub lines and fix simple problems. Li9ke I went to one house and the owner was complaining that when it rained the phone would go dead. The problem was that she had a live line touching the ground outside.

Dangerous is a understatement.. IMO you shouldn't be going to anybody's house (especially unsupervised) to service anything.

question: is it possible to split an ethernet line? I tried to do that yesterday but it wouldn't work.

Because ethernet uses only 2 pairs and cat5 has 4 pairs it is entirely possible and more economical to run two computers on one cable. I see it done in univesities and lots of public schools... Usually techs that use jumper wire systems do this on Bix!
Apparently there is more than one way to skin a cat5 . I do it all the time ! aok

A matter of semantics. (Right word ?) OP is asking about sharing an DSL signal, not sharing the actual wires.


When I was young, I was Liberal. As I aged and wised up, I became Conservative. Now that I'm old, I have settled on Curmudgeon.

I tried to take out my own appendix once. But I didn't have the proper spoon. (I think that's what they called it.) There was a lot of blood, too. Is that normal?
