Is there anyway I can rig up 2 laptops using one BB connection? I understand it will slow it down quite a lot but thats ok with me. I know one tetherberry account can work for multiple laptops but I am wanting them to be connected at the same time. Is this possible?

Thanks

You can use Windows Internet Connection Sharing (connect the two laptops by ethernet)

Info about how to do this is here

I was thinking what if I pluged my BB into a USB hub then plugged both laptops into the usb Hub would that work?

I'm not entirely sure if this is possible. If you send support an email it will get re-directed to the person who should be able to best assist you.

USB Hubs are not meant to give multiple hosts concurrent access to the same end point. First, usb hubs generally have a single port to connect to a host. Second, the S of uSb stands for "serial" as in point-to-point bit streamed signal. Just like you couldnt connect a single modem concurently to two hosts you cant connect two hosts to a single usb device.
