yep that's right.. that's why i said that using both ports simultaneously on 2 PC's worked for me.. but if u face any prob then this was another alternative.. that i had also tested bec. sometimes that Beetle 200Bx won't work for both PC's simultaneously.. perhaps firmware issue ? But as long as it worked it was fine for me. It's like holding your ears with hands over ur head.:redface:Since both are connected via Wire, they will be pretty close by 1-2Meters only. The Lan port is always preferred over USB anyways & if only 1 PC is to use net better use LAN port over USB.hey.. just a thought came.. the alternative method is good if u want bandwidth between the two PC's eg. Playing games / file transfer over network , because min conn will be 10/100/1000 MBps depending on Lan card, besides the fastest internet speed in india is only 2Mbps now which can easily be handled by 12Mbps conn. of USB port.
