Hello,
I'm explaining my problem, I'm currently sharing a room on a campus and the setup is really poor. There's only one RJ45 socket in the room while there are two of us sleeping in there.
My roommate and I decided to buy a double RJ45 adapter (this type of product: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Double-Adaptor-Ethernet-Cat5e-Splitter/dp/B000XRODTE).
The problem that arises: identification issue and therefore no internet connection on either my PC or my roommate's.
However, the signal is definitely present...
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
who advised you to buy that?
invest in a small switch instead, it will work much better.

Hello,
For this to work, you would also need a splitter on the other side where your socket is connected, as well as 2 network cables; otherwise, it won't work. If you can't access the arrival room where your socket is, it would be better to buy a small 5-port hub or switch where you can plug in your computers, and then it will work. I agree with brupala.

Okay, so basically I bought this for nothing...
It's the seller in the info store who told me it could work but that it was better to get a switch. I already knew that, but between 10€ and 50€ for a student, there's a big difference!
Anyway, thanks, all that's left is to try to get a refund :)
See you later++
