Question:
We split our internet connection between 3 devices. My dad's workstation, the PS2, and the family computer. This shouldn't bog down the connection too much if all of the devices are connected and active at the same time, should it?
Yes, it will bog down the connection if all of the devices are active at the same time. I split my 256 Kbps DSL between two computers: Mine via Ethernet, and my parents' via 802.11g WiFi. If my parents start surfing the net while i'm playing on bungie-ctf, my pings can shoot up from the 60-100 range to the 600+ range. Not fun at all.
