Thread: Configure Airtel Broadband via Ethernet Switch

Hi,

I hold an airtel broadband connection (256 kbps) and I am trying to share the connection for 2 computers (1 desktop and 1 laptop).

I went through the guide "bsnl-broadband/6500-guide-soho-networking.html" and I am not able to do it.

Following is the result of ipconfig

Following is the ipconfig when directly connected from ADSL Model (220bx1)

Code:
