Sharing a Broadband Connection
Sharing a Broadband Connection
Hi
I am going to get a PTCL Broadband connection. Can I share this connection with my other 3 PCs (1 linux and 2 windows), and how can I share (what hardware, cable and software configuration needed) this internet connection with other PCs?
Thanks

you could buy a wifi access point. most have 4 10/100 ports. or, you could get a wifi router -- it'll have an adsl port -- and replace your ptcl modem. i use a linksys wag which i bought over a year ago; i'm sure there are newer (and cheaper) options now.

Isn't it amazing how so many people can type "linuxpakistan.net" into their browsers but not "google.com"?

he's wrong. lots of people use wifi at home with ptcl.

lambda!
Let me tell that what I have understood;
After the PTCL guys install broadband in my home, I will buy a wifi router and 3 wifi cards, I will replace PTCL modem with wifi router and insert the cards in my PCs (and obviously instell them). Then The remaining is just the configuration which I have to do in my Windows/Linux PCs. Am I right? or Did I miss something (hardware or else)?

use wpa or wpa2 with a key that's over 20 characters (letters, numbers, punctuation) long.

I dont know why PTCL is taking too much time to install DSL (8 days have passed), meanwhile I am confused b/w installing router or switch.syedbilalmasaud wrote:just enable dhcp on dsl modem , buy8 port switch and connect ethernet cable switch and connect all computers with switch , all computer receive ip and internet settings from dhcp server and they are able to get internet
Cheers :D

ptc's modems are pretty low-end and crappy. buy a linksys wag, or something like that.

that depends. if ptcl won't give him a modem with four ports, he'll need to buy a switch or a wifi router with ethernet ports. he's already planning to buy a wifi router (see his later post).For that he will have to pay something extra.. So why will he not sticked to something he is getting Free
i'm just saying that if you're going to buy something, you might as well replace ptcl's modem with a wifi router that also does adsl. i've yet to run across a dsl modem from ptcl that worked as well as the old paradyne i got from nexlinx three years ago, or the linksys wag i have at home right now.
