Networkin guys
 

Okay i have a dsl modem
and i want to network it to share internet to two other pc's

the pc's are

1 : win98

2 : xp

3 : xp

is there any way i can do this without a router ?


if so please help :)

a hub?

What is the make and model of your "dsl modem"? Also, do you have static IPs or dynamic IPs?

you can get a fucking cheap router for 20 bucks. invest in one!

Why don't you want to use a router? You can pick up a Linksys router for $40.

because i wanted to get this done toinght

already got a hub .. i can connect on one computer and when i try to get online on the xp machines ( the 98 is online ) it wont work but the network is there and we have all that junk installed for it ... but if i disconnect from the 98 machine the xp machine will connect but wont share

don't you have any stores open 24/7 where you could buy one?

dynamic ip and it is a westell wirespeed

without some type of router.. how are they all connected to the internet? if they are all thru the same connection you can network them easily.. open my computer > tools > map network drive

no i live in a tourist town :thumbsup

hmm ill give it a shot right now

oh but first right click the folder on the computer you want to share.. and goto sharing and security. .and enable file sharing on that folder

k that did nothing .... :( i have my wire from my dsl into my first slot on my hub ... and then the next slot i have it to this pc .. witch is the one that is connected online ... then in the third slot i have the wire to one of my xp machines and now i cant get that xp machine online .. it isnt seeing my internet but it sees my computer

i got file sharing done already .. i need to get internet ont he xp machine's

Just plugging in the cable doesn't magically put you on the network. :)

isn't there an uplink or wan port on the hub? modem > uplink or wan?

i have file and all that sharing shit on ...


if someone can seriously help me post some sort of contact for your self and ill give you my toll free number to call and help a brotha out :P

want a pic of my hub ? all i see is numbers on it

Are you planning on sharing one IP or not? If so, does your gateway machine have 2 NIC's in it?

I have the same setup in one of my offices. I use a hub to connect the other computers to the DSL modem.

What I'd do is make the XP machine be the one that is connected to the net and enable Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).

Then on the other machines, MANUALLY specify the gateway IP of the XP machine and appropriate DNS servers. To find those, simply go on the XP machine while it's connected to the net, launch a command prompt (start -> run -> cmd) then type "ipconfig /all" while in command prompt. It will give you the DNS servers (usually 2 of them).

Put those numbers in the lan card config in your other machines. Reboot.

Should work.

You can contact me by ICQ 111333 if you have other questions.

first do this to the computer where you want to get the files from.. right click folder goto file sharing

then goto the computer you want to read the files from and do this.. my computer > map network drive

It makes a big difference weather or not you have multiple ips for use ;).

i have one network card .. and i am planning on sharing the same ip .. but if i buy more ip's would i need to put another card in still ? i was thinkin that was the problem .. but i still have to put another machine on the network ( 3 total )

You can either
A) Buy a hub and use 3 seperate IPs
B) Install 2 network cards and a hub(internet into nic 1, internal lan from nic to to hub)
C) Go get a stinkin router ;)

if you bought additional IPs they would be assigned by mac address.

Where'd you get that from?

thats how my ISP does it

or do was AsFly is tellin me to do and so far is workin :)

Make sure you're patched! :)
