Mick,

In theory it will be possible to connect both computers to your network/internet through that splitter. However, your computers/network cards will NOT SHARE that signal. Only one computer will be able to be "networked" at a time. The LAN connection that is routed to your wall socket is going to support only 1 ip address. Your computers would have to share that ip. Depending on your setup, you will need to purchase either a network hub or a network router to split your signal correctly. If you already have a router in your home/office then all you will need is a hub.
