Forgive me, but I am a newbie to this sort of thing and have a few questions. ShowEq forum is locked, so I apologize for posting this here but I wasn't sure where else to post it. My friend recently bought a new computer, so I'm inheriting an additional machine. I'm trying to figure out what to do with it.
I play two accounts with Everquest using EQW on the same computer, but obviously since I use the one comp to play both simultaneously, I have the same IP address for each copy of everquest.
I was wondering if it would still be possible for ShowEQ to work under these circumstances, or would I have to run only one copy of the game to keep it working.
Also, how would I go about converting the new computer to linux from windows? Would I just download Linux and install it while windows is active, or do I reformat the PC and try to start it up using a linux boot disc?
Lastly, I would need a router to link the two PCs, correct? Or do I need a HUB? Is there a difference between the two, and which brand or type do you recommend as best?
Again, I'm sorry for all these questions, I'm just trying to get things straight before I spend any more time and money on this game .
