Networking or Sharing your connection (#7762)
I want to share my DSL connection. I've read that I can share my connection by connecting a router to my DSL modem, but the 2Wire 1000S manual says that I can only connect a hub or a switch to the 1000S. I've also read that a hub and switch can't share a single IP address but a router can. What should I do? Connect the 2Wire Modem to a hub or a switch. The 2Wire Modem IS a router and is configured by default to be a DHCP server, which means that it will assign private LAN-side IPs to computers setup to ask for them (DHCP clients). Windows computers are by default setup for DHCP. Connect your computers to the hub or switch and reboot. The computer should pickup its IP from the router and be able to surf. You can designate specific IPs on specific computers on the LAN side if needed. If all you are doing is surfing/email/etc.. you don't need to specify your IPs. --- From a post by hokerick feedback form by KeysCapt
