[ale] Netgear FS608 Switch

[James Sumners]

You need something in the setup to do NAT (unless the person has
multiple IPs from their ISP). Everything can connect to the same
switch, but all of the traffic would have to be funneled through the
device doing NAT.

When you authenticate with PC1, then the ISP is going to send all
traffic to PC1. PC2 has no connection to the outside world without
first authenticating (and setting up the PPPoE link). But that would
kick PC1 off. Thus, you need to do NAT.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
