Connecting ethernet cable

[midasgold04]

I have a galil computer connected to a win 10 computer thru a ethernet cable. I have added a additional win 10 computer. Since both win 10 computers need to utilize the galil, and the galil only has 1 ethernet port for 1 cable how can i use this 1 cable to now connect the two computers? Because of my program update they reqd me to purchase the new computer, but i am still using the old program on the computer i had and forsee using both at different times during the day/week

Here's an older Tom's thread that explains it a bit: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/32924-42-what-purpose-gigabit-ethernet-switch

Good luck!

Galil are motion-control manufacturer. Are you sure that this connection, between their "computer", and yours, is using Ethernet, and not just an Ethernet cable for RS485 connection?
