re: Window XP sharing using DSL requiring 2 Ethernet Cards Saturday, October 5, 2002 at 7:01 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ian (1 messages posted) I just ordered a DI704, which is pretty much the same as the DI604, and I know that it has a DHCP server. I plan on setting it up as you specified but have one question. I have Pacific Bell SBC DSL, so when I want to get online now, I have to run their software to establish a connection with the internet. After I get the router, my computer wont be directly connected to the DSL modem. So how do I connect to the internet? Isn't the router supposed to be connected at all times? If so, how do I establish that initial connection? Thank you very much for any help you can give On Tuesday, August 27, 2002 at 6:38 pm, GM wrote: >Your setup should be: > >DSL Modem connects to Router's WAN Port... > >All computers connect to the router's LAN ports... >(assuming you have enough ports for all...) > >Each computer should have it's own ethernet card ,connected >by CAT5 cable to the router > >There is no need for any computer to act as Host when you >have a router... > >What make/model router do you have....?? >Does it have a built in DHCP server...? > > Written in response to: re: Window XP sharing using DSL requiring 2 Ethernet Cards (GM: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 at 6:38 pm) Responses to this message: re: Window XP sharing using DSL requiring 2 Ethernet Cards (Randy: Saturday, February 28, 2004 at 7:46 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] Window XP sharing using DSL requiring 2 Ethernet Cards (Gigi: Tue, Aug 27, 2002, 5:34 pm) re: Window XP sharing using DSL requiring 2 Ethernet Cards (Steve: Tue, Aug 27, 2002, 6:08 pm) re: Window XP sharing using DSL requiring 2 Ethernet Cards (Gigi: Tue, Aug 27, 2002, 8:04 pm) re: Window XP sharing using DSL requiring 2 Ethernet Cards (Clark: Wed, Aug 28, 2002, 3:55 pm) re: Window XP sharing using DSL requiring 2 Ethernet Cards (Steve: Wed, Aug 28, 2002, 6:12 pm) re: Window XP sharing using DSL requiring 2 Ethernet Cards (GM: Tue, Aug 27, 2002, 6:38 pm) re: Window XP sharing using DSL requiring 2 Ethernet Cards (Gigi: Tue, Aug 27, 2002, 8:00 pm) re: Window XP sharing using DSL requiring 2 Ethernet Cards (Ian: Sat, Oct 5, 2002, 7:01 pm) re: Window XP sharing using DSL requiring 2 Ethernet Cards (Randy: Sat, Feb 28, 2004, 7:46 pm) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows XP Discussion Forum
