Hallo putasolutions and thanks.
Two phone lines is the absolute minimum here. If I cancelled the home phone then all my friends and family and other personal calls would have to phone the office which is not acceptable.
I'm trying to understand the sequence of devices. At the moment it couldn't be simpler: both computers have independent wires going to different phone sockets. They are connected together and to the printer via the ethernet hub. You say get a router and connect it to the hub. I've just had a look and yes there are couple of free sockets. I'm sorry if I appear slow here, but I haven't even seen a router yet! So, does a phone cable come out of the back of it leading to the phone socket? What does DHCP stand for? I wish there was a drawing somewhere of the devices and wires - is there one on this site for instance?
Regrettably, getting a fix on this scenario is all down to me as our computer supplier has recently closed down, so I have to buy all the kit I need off the internet now. Thanks again.
