I've never ever got it working on Vista. (tried 3 different PCs.)
Ubuntu linux never worked either and XP has worked half of the time.
Are you sure thats not a telephone splitter or am I missing something here?

I highly doubt that will work. You do really need a network switch/ hub. Here is a cheap one: http://www.misco.co.uk/applic[....]tails.asp?EdpNo=236063&CatId=0 |

I can concur, it won't work. These things only work by utilizing the spare 4 wires in an 8-wire CAT 5e socket. You'd need another splitter at the other end, with the resulting two cables going into a hub or router as they would if you'd ran them separately.
They don't act like a hub or router unfortunately.

Should do 
Have you got a suitable power supply for it? The auction says no PSU?

The one that you are bidding on is only 10 Base T so will be really slow. You really should get a 10/100 hub/switch. |

I had the exact same predicament, and ended up getting one of these for £12 from PC World:

Does the job perfectly
