I've never used an ethernet splitter, but logic suggests you might need to use a splitter on both ends (you probably also need to split the other end in the network closet so it connects to two different ports on your switch).<br />

You are right Naykam, I had to revert back to small switch only. Splitter is not a practical solution and does not work in case of POE IP Phone.

Hi,<br />
<br />
In my office I have a single RJ45 port (IO Jack) and 2 users. I want to provide LAN connection to both users computer. I purchased a hardware RJ45 splitter and connected the RJ45 patch cord from main IO Jack to splitter and connected the other 2 ends of splitter to the 2 computers. But both computers LAN connection was going On/Off.<br />
<br />
Is there an alternate using which I can give both computers LAN connection using a single RJ45 IO port?<br />
<br />
I don't want to use a second network card option as users are having Laptop with them.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your support.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
