Multiple Computers

Good post, however, the switch option, probably will not work, if true is using PPPOE (which is very likely). And it is certainly not easy to actually make it work in this setup.

It will work. I'm using the exact setup I described...a 500 baht switch with a PPPOE connection to True right now as I type this. The only thing that *might* be different is the fact that I am using a telephone line / ADSL modem instead of a cable modem. I don't have any experience with cable modems, so I can't be 100% certain.

However, I am 99.9% certain, and believe that the cable modem is currently using a PPPOE connection because the picture shows a conection to the computer by a network (ethernet) cable, and ethernet is the E in PPPOE. I'm imagining that if Neeranam went into the properties of his existing PPPOE network connection and activated the Internet Sharing, he would be good to go.

Maybe someone out there who is familiar with cable modems can clear this up?

PPPOE over a cable modem works in the same way as it would do when using ADSL modem. I agree that this way it is doable, but it means that one pc has to be powered on (and connected) at all times in order for the laptop to have internet connection. Not ideal. The power consumption cost will quickly be higher then the purchase cost of nice router.

neeranam,

less than 2K baht for the router plus 1-200 baht in cat5 cabling would get you sorted

we can give you assistance in the configuration of your computers and the router

Simple solution -

get someone to configure this router to assign IP addresses 'dynamically' ... dont call TRUE guys they wudnt do it.. it has to be a techy frnd of yours !

Next, get yourself a wireless HUB and stick this white network cable into it.

Assuming that your PC;s at home have wireless ethernet adapters, they wil automatically connect to this network (provided they arnt any more wifi networks arnd) and you can start using your internet !

Cheers !

Am I unusual having True not via a phone line?

um - yes

it does look like you do have a cable connection - I didn't know true did them.

you can just use a switch and cat5 cabling to link your computers , but I would probably go a NAT router to save your self the problem of configuring your network , though even this route will require network setup

I just bought a router - 802.11g/2.4GHz Wireless - whatever all that means. I'm trying to cennect it now - will let you know how I get on or ask for help(no doubt). It was cheaper than I thought - 1700 baht.

I submited the problem hereafter in an other topic: I read the discussion above but still I don't see the solution.

I tried to modify the modem config 192.168.1.1. by changing from PPOE address to dynamic, it stuck.

May I have your comments. Thanks a lot to all.

"Hi everyone,

I don't post too much but I read a lot, good job to all, very informative forum.

I leave south of Pattaya, Na Jomtien.

Today I need help and advice as I just sign with TT&T and Maxnet and they gave me a modem brand Asus 6000EV/72, everyhting work fine. The problem is that when I connect my Lynksis wireless G router to the system I can't connect to Internet. The Asus modem stuck.

I confirm that the router work fine it was tested few days ago at tut/com

Is anyone have had the same problem? Any technical advice?

Thanks for your cooperation;

Babar "
