Hi,
I need to connect 4 computers to internet using DNA-A211-I bsnl modem. I need to share files in all the PC's, I've connected three PC's using a switch(TP-Link) and using straight cables I have pluged it in the modem, internet and file sharing is working in all the computers?
But when I insert cable of fourth computer to the DNA-A211-I modem, the file sharing is done but internet is not being connected using bridge connections.
If I off the other three computers and then access internet, it gets connected in the fourth computer... Its just like whichever computer comes first access the internet, the rest of the computer can't.
I also have option to connect the fourth computer to the TP-LINK and hence can access internet on all the computers. but as they are all in different rooms, I'll have to switch on at least two computers in order to access internet.
The other option I've is that I can use PPPoE (whatever) rather than Bridge connection. But in that case I've to use Automatic settings of IP addresses, that I dont want to use...

If anyone can help on this!!

Thanks in advance
Gaurav

Any special reason ?

mine: Assign Ip address automatically.
two laptops Vonage VOIP etc.

Ensure your modem access ID ( admin )and
PW (admin) are changed.

Para two:
By-pass the TP- link switch and connect all computers to DNA211-I

hey,
as you asked is there any special reason, there is not any special reason but i want to do file sharing on all the computers. If I use Assign IP Address Automatically, then how can i connect to another computer?

I mean when i assigned IP's to all the computer then I can easily access the computer by referring to a particular IP address. If there is any solution to do this by assigning automatic IP address?

Another thing is that, I cannot bypass the TP-LINK, although I can do that but if there is any solution by keeping that also?

Thanks in advance and for your previous help!!
